We take physical, electronic, and procedural measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure while it is under our control. These measures include internal reviews of our data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures. For example, we offer the use of a secure server. Furthermore, all supplied sensitive information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and only accessed by those authorized with special access rights and who are likewise required to keep the information confidential.

We further restrict access to personal information to RSS Company and its affiliates, suppliers and/or licensors and the employees, agents and representatives of the foregoing who need to know that information in order to provide services associated with the Site.
