(The adequacy decision on the EU-US Privacy became operational on August 1, 2016.

We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.

While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, responding to inquiries or customer service) have access to personally identifiable information. Our computers and servers that store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment. We do all of this to prevent any loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, or modification of your personal information under our control. We also use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) for authentication and private communications to maintain your trust and confidence in the internet and website use by providing simple and secure access for communicating personal information.
