Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser, or looking for "https" at the beginning of the address of the web page.
If a password is used to help protect your accounts and personal information, it is your responsibility to keep your password confidential. Do not share this information with anyone. If you are sharing a computer with anyone you should always log out before leaving a site or service to protect access to your information from subsequent users.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Like many companies, we and our service providers may use "cookies" and other tracking technologies to gather information about your visit to our website (see "Information We Collect" above). We use these tools to measure site activity, provide a better user experience, and to deliver, evaluate and tailor our marketing communications and online advertisements for you. Cookies are used by websites and web browsers to maintain information regarding your previous activities on a website, including what content has been displayed to you. Cookies are also used to optimize the performance of our website.
Analytics
We use analytics services (such as those of Google Analytics) on our website. These services collect and analyze your usage information through cookies and similar tools; engage in auditing, research, or reporting; assist with fraud prevention; and provide certain features to you.
To prevent Google Analytics from using your information for analytics, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on by clicking here. We have disabled data sharing with Google products and services.
We also place web beacons in our emails. Web beacons help us measure the effectiveness of our email campaigns. They do this by identifying when individuals open or act on an email message; when email messages are forwarded; the type of software, device, operating system and browser used to deliver the email; and when an individual clicks on a link included in an email message.
Online Advertising
Our website may integrate technologies that allow us to advertise on other websites you visit and other applications you use. For more information about interest-based advertising and your options for managing it, you may visit the NAI’s Consumer Opt-Out or DAA’s Consumer Opt-Out. There, you may opt-out of receiving tailored advertising from participating companies. We do not control these options or who participates in these programs. Nor are we responsible for the effect, continued availability, or accuracy of these mechanisms.
For mobile advertising and analytics, each operating system provides its own instructions on how to control advertisement tracking.
At this time, we do not honor "do not track" signals from a website browser. Please see your browser's Help instructions to learn how to manage cookies and other tracking technologies. If you choose to refuse or delete cookies, you will need to repeat this process if you use another computer or browser.
