• Information we may collect about you and how we may use it
  The information we collect about you may include:

  Having accurate information about you permits us to:
  

  • Perform the functions and services you request or authorize.
  • Provide you with better customer service.
  • Increase the efficiency of our operations.
  • Comply with legal and regulatory requirements.
  • Inform you of updates to our Web site.
• How and why we may share your information
  Sharing the information we collect about you enables us to:
  

  • Provide you with better customer service.

  We may share the information we have about you within our affiliated companies.

• How we secure your information through encryption technology
  We realize the importance of securing your information, so we have physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in place to enhance the safety of information about you that is collected on our Web site.
  
  In particular, we require that a "secure session" first be established on pages requesting information about you, using an Internet method known as Secure Socket Layers (SSL). With SSL engaged, pages are sent to you in an encrypted format and any information you submit to our Web site is encrypted. This method of transferring sensitive information is considered the industry standard for the Internet. To help ensure security via the Internet, we recommend you keep your browser up to date with all current security patches.
  
  While we have taken steps to make the information you provide to us as secure as possible against unauthorized access, please keep in mind that no data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. Any information disclosed online can potentially be intercepted and used by unauthorized parties.

  When you browse our Web site, personal information - such as your name, address, telephone number and email address - is not collected through the use of cookies. However, we may use cookies to collect information about how our Web site is used. The cookies on our Web site cannot be used to reveal your email address from your hard drive, pass on computer viruses or learn confidential or personal information about you that you have not already expressly revealed.

  We do not use our Web site to knowingly solicit information from or market to children under the age of 13.

  Our Web site contains links to other Internet sites. It is our intent to provide links only to other quality sites.
