When information is no longer needed, we will delete it, securely dispose of it, or deidentify it as appropriate.
Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
