HOW DO WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION?
We restrict access to nonpublic Personal Information about you or your children to those of our employees who need to know that information in order to provide products to you. We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards designed to protect your nonpublic Personal Information.
