These services may include, among other things, payment processing, maintaining our databases, providing communications materials and assistance, and assisting us in providing our Services to you. Our policy is to require our Service Providers not to use, disclose, or sell your Personal Information for any purpose other than for providing services to us.

Security of Your Personal Information
The security of your Personal Information is important to us, and we are committed to protecting the information we collect. We use appropriate, commercially reasonable safeguards to maintain the privacy and security of your Personal Information.
