You can control cookies via your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect site functionality.
4) Data Sharing and Disclosure

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards (e.g., HTTPS, access controls). No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; we work to improve continuously.
