How We Protect and Retain Your Information
We take all reasonable steps to protect the security and confidentiality of your personal information. We protect personal information with appropriate organizational, technological and physical safeguards.
For example, we adopt appropriate data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure or destruction of your personal information, username, password, transaction information and data stored on our Site. We store personal information in a secure manner, and our security measures include secure on- and off-site storage, restricted access to records and data processing equipment, password protocols, and encryption and security software. We apply appropriate safeguards reflective of the sensitivity of the personal information. For example, any payment information is kept safe by using SSL software, which encrypts your sensitive information. We conduct audits and monitor compliance with our privacy practices.
We only retain personal information for as long as is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. When we no longer are required to retain the information, we will destroy, erase, or de-identify the information. Legal requirements, however, may require us to retain some or all of the personal information we hold for a period of time that is longer than that for which we might otherwise hold.
