The technology we have employed to deliver our Services to you protects your information using both server authentication and data encryption, ensuring that your data is safe, secure, and available only to registered users in your organization.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

  • Never respond to unsolicited requests for your social security number or financial information.
  • Do not disclose your passwords to the Site or your Account Information to any other person.
  • Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.
