Limiting Marketing and Promotional Communications
You may choose to limit the marketing and promotional communications we send you. You can do this by contacting us using the contact information listed under How to Contact Us below.
Security Measures
As you may be aware, there is no completely secure method of transmitting or storing information and data. Although their physical characteristics are different, postal mail, telephone calls, text messages, faxes and transmissions over the Internet or wireless networks all present possibilities of loss, misrouting, interception and misuse of the information and data that is transmitted.
We try to strike a balance between the security of your information and your convenience. As a result, we may sometimes use a method of communication that is less secure than a less convenient alternative. For example, but not limitation, we may send you an e-mail or a text message in unencrypted form (i.e., instantly readable) because many of our customers are unable to access encrypted (i.e., coded) e-mail or messages. This means that our message, if misrouted or intercepted, could be read more easily than encrypted messages. For this reason, please do not include confidential information, such as your credit card number, in any e-mail or text you send to us or on any posting you make to a public area of a third party social network page, especially since any such posting immediately becomes public.
We take reasonable measures to protect against the loss, misuse and unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration and destruction of your personal information by aiming to maintain appropriate physical, organizational and technological safeguards to protect your personal information, including:
- Restricting access to personal information to our employees on a "need to know" basis;
- Enforcing policies and procedures for our employees in their handling of personal information;
- Using technologies designed to safeguard data during its transmission, such as SSL encryption for the data you provide on our websites and apps. In particular, we adhere to the appropriate standards for PCI compliance;
- Contractual measures in place with service providers to protect personal information while in those service providers’ custody; further, we require our service providers to restrict any use of such personal information to the purposes for which we have engaged the service provider; and
- Destroying personal information after it is no longer needed.
We have established safeguards to help prevent unauthorized access to or misuse of your personal information, but cannot guarantee that your personal information will never be disclosed in a manner inconsistent with this policy (for example, as a result of unauthorized acts by third parties that violate applicable law or our policies and those of our affiliated providers). We may use a password to help verify your identity before granting access or making corrections to any of your personal information. It is your responsibility to safeguard your password, which you should never disclose to a third party. If you contact us by phone, we will ask you to verify certain information related to your account before providing any access to personal information.
