12. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
However, no website, internet transmission, storage system, or security measure can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should also take reasonable steps to protect your account credentials and devices.
