We use the SSL/HTTPS pro­to­col thro­ug­ho­ut our site. This encrypts our user com­mu­ni­ca­tions with the ser­vers so that per­so­nal iden­ti­fi­ab­le infor­ma­ti­on is not captured/hijacked by third par­ti­es wit­ho­ut authorization.

In case of a data bre­ach, sys­tem admi­nist­ra­tors will imme­dia­tely take all nee­ded steps to ensure sys­tem integ­rity, will con­tact affec­ted users and will attempt to reset pass­words if needed.
