Your Security

Our goal is to make sure your information is safe and secure. We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt and transmit your information to our secure server. SSL technology, an industry standard, is designed to prevent someone other than operators of our websites from capturing and viewing your personal information.

However, no security measures are perfect. We cannot promise that our websites or apps will be completely safe. Since access to personal information in your account(s) is protected with a password, we recommend choosing a unique password and avoid sharing it with anyone.
