standard technology called "cookies" to collect information about
how our site is used. Cookies were designed to help a web site

How do we protect your information?
We
exercise great care to protect your personally identifiable
information. This includes, among other things, using industry
standard techniques such as firewalls, encryption, intrusion
detection and site monitoring. Unfortunately, no data transmission
over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result,
while we strive to protect your personally identifiable information,
we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you
transmit to us or receive from us. This is especially true for
information you transmit to us via e-mail. We have no way of
protecting that information until it reaches us. Once we receive
your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on
our servers.
We
will review our security arrangements from time to time as we deem
appropriate.
