However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is perfect or 100% secure. “Perfect” or “100%” security does not exist anywhere. Therefore, Company cannot guarantee the absolute security of your personal information; and your access and use of the Site, and your opening of any communications, links, downloads or uploads sent through or as a function of the Site, are done at your own risk.
