How We Protect Your Information
We take
our responsibility to secure the information we collect and maintain seriously. We use reasonable security,
including technical, physical and administrative controls, to secure the information we collect and
maintain. However, we cannot guarantee that these practices will prevent every unauthorized attempt to
access, use, or disclose information. You can help protect the privacy of your own information by using
encryption and other techniques to prevent unauthorized interception of your personal information. You are
responsible for the security of your information that you transmit to us or view, download, or otherwise
access when using unencrypted, public or otherwise unsecured networks. For more information on things you

We will retain your personal information at least as long as necessary to fulfill the
purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, including to satisfy our legal or reporting requirements, unless a
longer retention period is required or allowed under law. We reserve the right to retain your personal
information to the extent allowed by applicable law. We also reserve the right to provide access to or
delete personal information only to the extent required by applicable law
To determine the
appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of
personal information; the potential risk from deletion, unauthorized use, or disclosure of the personal
information; the purpose(s) for which we use or may use the personal information; whether we can achieve the
purpose(s) through other means; and the applicable legal requirements.
If we de-identify
information, we will maintain and use the information in de-identified form and not attempt to re-identify
the information except as required or permitted by law
