Remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. Accordingly, to the extent permitted by law, we cannot guarantee that information transmitted will not be lost, misused or altered, and we assume no responsibility for the information you transmit, nor for its use or misuse by you or any third party. You should always exercise care in handling and disclosing your information, in particular by avoiding transmitting it by unsecured e-mail.

Our Chief Privacy Officer is responsible for overseeing our privacy practices and ensuring compliance with relevant privacy laws and regulations. On a regular basis, the Chief Privacy Officer conducts thorough reviews of our data handling processes, security measures, and third-party partnerships to identify and mitigate any potential risks to your privacy.

These reviews include an assessment of how information is collected, used, disclosed, and stored. Any necessary updates to our privacy policies, procedures, or agreements with third parties are made under the guidance of the Chief Privacy Officer to reflect evolving privacy best practices and legal requirements.
