The second type of information is identifiable information, namely information that identifies an individual or may with reasonable effort identify an individual ("Personal Information").

Information Security.
We, and respective third-party services/affiliate entities implement data security systems and procedures to secure the information transmitted, processed and stored on the Service, our computer servers and systems. For example, the Service is encrypted by using SSL and so as any other information at transport, we periodically review our information and data collection practices to ensure constant monitoring, we use third party processing and serving services that implement various information security standards and certifications (at rest and transmission), and we monitor and filter access to data when it comes to personnel in our organization. Such systems and procedures reduce the risk of security breaches, but they do not provide absolute security, as there is no such thing when it comes to the world-wide network. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that the Site and our servers are immune to unauthorized access to the information stored therein and to other information security risks. If you have any questions about the security on the Site, you can contact us at [email protected].
