Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is, by its very nature not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the full security of your data transmitted to us and therefore any transmission is ultimately always at your own risk. When personal information is transmitted to other Web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
