6. Data Security

Consistent with the GLBA Safeguards Rule, we maintain an information security program that includes administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of nonpublic personal information. These safeguards include access controls, encryption in transit for data submitted through our website, vendor oversight, employee training, and periodic review of our security practices.
