Please note that in certain circumstances, removal of or changing certain information will not be possible, even in the event an account is closed. For example, the Website may retain and continue to display any information provided in connection with a topic, reply or a communication.
Security measures.
Management endeavors to secure Personal Information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure by putting into place reasonable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard the information collected via the Website. For example, User account information is accessible online only through the use of a password.
No security measures are foolproof. To protect the confidentiality of Personal Information, Users must keep passwords confidential and not disclose them to any other person. Users are responsible for all Use of the Website by any person using their password(s). Please advise Management immediately by email using the “Contact Us” link at the top of this page if it is believed that a password has been misused or a User’s account has otherwise been compromised.

Management encourages Users to be aware, and to read the privacy policies, of any website or service that collects your information. Similarly, if Users accessed the Website through another website, Management is not responsible for the privacy practices of that website, and Users should review the privacy policy of the originating website before providing any information to that website. This Policy applies solely to information collected by Management in connection with Use of the Website. Any opt-out requests related to a third party’s products or services must be submitted directly to the third party providing the products or services.
Disclosure of information.
Information about Users, including Personal Information, may be disclosed as part of any merger, acquisition, debt financing, sale of company assets, as well as in the event of an insolvency, bankruptcy or receivership in which Personal Information could be transferred to third parties as one of Management’s business assets.
