Google have vowed to keep this information private. Your data is not used for any marketing purposes without your consent.
On occasion, there may be instances wherein information must be obtained in order to differentiate you from our thousands of other unique visitors. This helps us provide information and services that are most relevant to you.
We collect information through registration and cookies and when we do so, your information is encrypted and passed between Secure Socket Layers on the Internet so that it can be verified and trusted by our web and email servers and those belonging to Google. To further your privacy and data security, we use encrypted socket layers and a double-authentication scheme on all servers where your information may be stored.
