Some browsers have a “do not track” feature. It lets you tell websites you visit that you do not want them to track your online activity. These features are not yet uniform across browsers.

We take reasonable technical and organizational precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of your personal data.  Of course, no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure.  Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security and we encourage you to use websites and share information with caution.
