Security:

We endeavor to safeguard and protect our users’ PII. When users make PII available to us, their personal information is protected both online and offline (to the extent that we maintain any PII offline).

Access to your PII is strictly limited, and we take reasonable measures to ensure that your PII is not accessible to the public. All of our users’ PII is restricted in our offices, as well as the offices of our third party service providers.

Employees not adhering to our firm policies are subject to disciplinary action. The servers that we store PII on are kept in a secure physical environment. We also have security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of PII under our control.

Please be advised, however, that while we take every reasonable precaution available to protect your PII, no storage facility, technology, software, security protocols or data transmission over the Internet or via wireless networks can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Computer hackers that circumvent our security measures may gain access to certain portions of your PII, and technological bugs, errors and glitches may cause inadvertent disclosures of your PII; provided, however, that any attempt to breach the security of the network, our servers, databases or other hardware or software may constitute a crime punishable by law. For the reasons mentioned above, we cannot warrant that your PII will be absolutely secure. Any transmission of data at or through the Website, other quoteandprotect™ Offerings, or otherwise via the Internet or wireless network, is done at your own risk. In compliance with applicable federal and state laws, we shall notify you and any applicable regulatory agencies in the event that we learn of an information security breach with respect to your PII.
