Log File Information
Log file information is automatically reported by your browser each time you access a web page. When you register with or view our website, our servers automatically record certain information that your web browser sends whenever you visit any website. These server logs may include information such as your web request, IP

​
Information Security
We pride ourselves in protecting your information. We implement a variety of security measures when a user completes a transaction or enters, submits, or accesses their information. We use firewalls; system-wide data encryption, physical and electronic access controls, and internal proprietary measures.
We also use security measures to de-aggregate or isolate different data sets of personal information. As part of this, we use a microservice that stores components of applications and databases in separate instances.
We use a layer of device authentication tokens, provided through Apple, to enhance security. Access to our services and information requires special security tokens for secure authentication. Customer information in the Apps requires an authenticated device, making access points restrictive.
Our website is also proactively scanned for security holes and known vulnerabilities in order to make your visit to our site as safe as possible.
Your personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems and are required to keep the information confidential. In addition, any credit information you supply is encrypted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.
All information is securely stored on servers in the United States.
