protect PII collected on our Site against loss, misuse or alteration. However, the Internet is an open system and technology and

139
-
human operators are not infallible. Accordingly, we cannot and do not guarantee that the inpidual user information you have

141
-
transmitted, including PII, will not be intercepted by others and/or decrypted or accidentally disclosed. We cannot ensure or
142

143
-
warrant the security of any information transmitted to us over the Internet, and we accept no liability for any unintentional
144

disclosure.

changes, we will post these changes on the Site. If, at any point, we decide to use PII in a manner different than what was stated
152

at the time it was collected, we will notify users of this change by email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their
