Co-branded Sections of our Sites
Certain portions of our Sites may be co-branded with a third-party business partner and subject to a different privacy policy that is either the partner’s privacy policy or a privacy policy developed jointly by our partners (collectively the “Co-branded Policy”). The partner’s collection, use and dissemination practices regarding any data or Personal Information provided by or obtained from users of these Co-branded portions of our Sites will be governed by the Co-branded Policy. The Co-branded Policy will make clear if our use and dissemination of Personal Information will be governed by the Co-branded Policy or this Policy. Please read the Co-branded Policy for each Co-branded Site before providing any Personal Information.
Third-Party Links
Our Sites may link to websites operated by third parties that we do not control. We do not monitor, control, or endorse the information collection or privacy practices of any third parties. We strongly encourage you to become familiar with the privacy practices of every website you visit and to contact them if you have any questions about their respective privacy policies and practices. This Policy applies solely to information collected by us through our Sites or Services and does not apply to these third-party websites. The ability to access information of third parties from our Sites or Services, or links to other websites or locations, is for your convenience only and does not signify our endorsement of such third parties, their products, services, websites, locations, or their content.

We also use secure server software (SSL) to process all financial transactions that occur on our Sites. SSL technology can encrypt Personal Information transmitted over the Internet. However, no security system is impenetrable.
