THIRD PARTY SITES OR SERVICES

This Privacy Policy does not address, and we are not responsible for, the privacy, information or other practices of any third parties, including any third party operating any site or service to which the Site contains a link.

SECURITY

We seek to use reasonable organizational, technical and administrative measures to protect Personal Information within our organization.
