HOW LONG DO WE KEEP INFORMATION? 

        We generally keep data on our server or in our archives for as long as we reasonably need it. We may alter this practice according to changing requirements. For example, we may delete some data if needed to free up storage space. We may keep other data for longer periods if the law requires it.

        Data management requests are administered in an orderly manner to the extent feasible and within our direct control. Note: we have greater control over recently collected data than for archived data. Once data is removed from the system and archived, it may not be feasible to accommodate specific requests. In those cases, our general data retention policy applies.

WHAT IS AN IP ADDRESS AND HOW DO WE USE IT?

        An IP address is a number that is assigned to your computer when you are using your browser on the Internet.

We do log IP addresses and we use them to monitor things like the number of visitors that visit our website.

        Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that data transmitted over the Internet will always be secure.  As a result, while we strive to protect your personally identifiable information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products and services and you do so at your own risk.  Upon receipt of your transmission, we strive to ensure the security of that information in our systems.
