Please see “Cookies” in the section above for information on how you can control the use of cookies on your computer.

We take reasonable steps to maintain the security of the personally identifiable information that we collect, including limiting the number of people who have physical access to our database servers, as well as installing electronic security systems that guard against unauthorized access.
