Handling of Electronic Records

In general, we will retain all information collected through the Site unless otherwise prohibited by law. We maintain backup files as a protection against natural disasters, equipment failures or other disruptions. Removing a record from our main files does not remove that record from any backup systems. Additionally, information deleted from our main files for any reason is not actively deleted from our backup systems. Such data will eventually be passively deleted as backup records are erased through the normal recycling of backup files. In the meantime, as long as backup records exist, they receive the same security protections as our other records.

We employ technologically reasonable and current methods to help prevent unauthorized access to our website database and to maintain data accuracy and integrity. Although we have such precautions in place, no data transmission over the Internet or any network can be guaranteed to be perfectly secured.
