How We Respond To Do Not Track Signals

Like many other websites, this site is not configured to respond to “Do Not Track” signals or other similar mechanisms.  At present, this site and, to our knowledge, third parties, do not track consumers over time and across third party websites to provide targeted advertising. 

Security

Keeping your information safe is very important to us. However, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be totally secure. We strive to protect your personal information, but we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information that you send to us, and you do so at your own risk. We use reasonable precautions to keep your personally identifying information and browsing information secure and to only release browsing information to third parties we believe share our commitment to privacy. However, we are not responsible for any breach of security or for the actions of these parties.
