While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect
your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job
(for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable
information. The computers and servers in which we store personally identifiable information
are kept in a secure environment. This is all done to prevent any loss, misuse, unauthorized
access, disclosure or modification of the user's personal information under our control.
