No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. So if you send us information, please be aware that it is at your own risk. We cannot guarantee the absolute and total security of any information you transmit to us or store on the Platform. Nor can we guarantee that such information cannot be accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed due to a breach of any of our physical, technical or administrative security measures.
