We endeavor to protect the privacy of your account and other personal information that we hold in our records, but unfortunately, we cannot guarantee complete security.

Some internet browsers have incorporated "Do Not Track" features. Most of these features, when turned on, send a signal or preference (a "DNT Signal") to the web sites you visit indicating that you do not wish to be tracked. Because there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret DNT Signals, and there is no common definition of "tracking," we d o not currently respond to DNT Signals on our Website.
