4. Protection of personal information

We hold personal information as either secure physical records, electronically on our intranet system, or in cloud storage.

We further protect personal information by restricting access to personal information to only those who need access to the personal information to do their job. Physical and electronic procedures have been employed to safeguard the security and integrity of your personal information. We will destroy or de-identify personal information once it is no longer needed for a valid purpose or required to be kept by law.

By consenting to this Privacy Policy, you acknowledge that we cannot guarantee the complete security of any information you transmit to us and that we cannot prevent the use or misuse of your data by other parties. We will notify you promptly of any known breach of our security systems or your data that might expose you to serious risk.
