Security of personal information
We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information.

Any information disclosed online is vulnerable to interception and misuse by unauthorized parties. Therefore, we cannot guarantee complete security if you provide personal information.
Use of cookies
When you visit our website, we may collect information through the use of a "cookie." A cookie is a small amount of data transferred to your browser and read by the web server that placed it there. It works as a sort of identification card, recording your preferences and previously entered information. This type of technology is designed to tell us when you re-enter our website, where you visit within our website, and the type of browser you use. We may use both session cookies and persistent cookies. A session cookie disappears after you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains after you close your browser and may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the service. You are not required to accept any cookie we might use, although some areas of a website may not be operational without the use of cookies. You can disable cookies on your computer by changing the settings in your browser. The information collected helps us identify data relating to usage and trends, address any problems with website administration, and to further improve this website. We (either directly, or through our partners such as Google Analytics) also may automatically collect certain information relating to you, such as your internet protocol (IP) address, internet service provider, type of operating system, the time and date you accessed the website, the uniform resource locator (URL) from which you arrived at our website and, if you browse away from our website by clicking on a link on our website, the URL you click on.
Please review your web browser "Help" file to learn the proper way to modify your cookie settings. Google Analytics collects and processes certain analytics data. Google provides some additional privacy options described at www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/ regarding Google Analytics' cookies.
Controls for do-not-track features
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. No uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Policy. Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. If you set the DNT signal on your browser, we will respond to such DNT browser signals.
