our offices or personnel, or to third parties, located throughout the world,
and may be viewed and hosted anywhere in the world, including countries that

such data. To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, by using any of the

We take precautions to
protect the security of your information. We have physical, electronic, and
managerial procedures to help safeguard, prevent unauthorized access, maintain
data security, and correctly use your information. However, neither people nor
security systems are foolproof, including encryption systems. In addition,
people can commit intentional crimes, make mistakes or fail to follow policies.
Therefore, while we use reasonable efforts to protect your personal
information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If applicable law
imposes any non-disclaimable duty to protect your personal information, you
agree that intentional misconduct will be the standards used to measure our
compliance with that duty.
Can
I update or correct my information?

detailed in our internal company employment policies. Customers have the right

on other information that we maintain, or information that we have provided to
third parties in accordance with this Privacy Policy prior to such update,
correction, change or deletion. To protect your privacy and security, we may take
reasonable steps (such as requesting a unique password) to verify your identity
before granting you profile access or making corrections. You are responsible
for maintaining the secrecy of your unique password and account information at
all times. You should be aware that it is not technologically possible to
remove each and every record of the information you have provided to us from
our system. The need to back up our systems to protect information from
inadvertent loss means that a copy of your information may exist in a
non-erasable form that will be difficult or impossible for us to locate.
Promptly after receiving your request, all personal information stored in
databases we actively use, and other readily searchable media will be updated,
corrected, changed or deleted, as appropriate, as soon as and to the extent
reasonably and technically practicable. If you are an end user and wish to
