10. Data Security

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information from unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure.

The length of time information is retained may depend on:
