If we become aware that a third party that has received personal information is using or disclosing that information in a manner contrary to this Privacy Policy, the site will take reasonable steps to prevent or stop such use or disclosure.
The website uses reasonable measures to prevent the loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of your personal information. We also take reasonable steps to ensure that your information is reliable for its intended use, accurate, complete, and up-to-date. This is done by storing your information in a secure electronic database, which is a component of a computer system governed by physical, electronic, and supervisory procedures designed to ensure compliance with all electronic filing regulations.
