Storage, Transmission and Protection of Information

Tucker Arensberg will collect, store, transmit and protect your personal information using encryption and/or security protocols that are standard in the industry and that we believe reasonably protect your information.  We do not use a SSL certificate.  While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to keep your personal information secure, many factors affecting the security of your personal information are outside our control and we cannot guarantee absolute security.  Tucker Arensberg is not liable or responsible for any disclosure of your personal information due to errors in transmission or factors beyond our reasonable control.

We rely on third party vendors to collect, store, transmit and protect all personal information and non-personal information collected at the Website.  We select third party vendors that use encryption and security protocols that we believe adequately protect your personal information, but we do not have actual control over our third party vendors and therefore we cannot be liable for the actions, conduct, errors or omissions of those third parties.  Our third party vendors may have terms, conditions and privacy policies that differ from this Policy, and we have no control over or responsibility for how our third party vendors collect, store, transmit or use your personal information.

Because we use third party vendors to collect, transmit and store your personal information, your personal information and non-personal information may be collected from, transmitted to or from and stored in multiple locations worldwide.  We may store, transmit and use (as provided in this Policy) your personal and non-personal information indefinitely or in perpetuity.

Transmitting and storing personal information via the internet puts that information at risk of inadvertent disclosure to or unauthorized access by third parties, such as hackers and other cybercriminals who exploit security flaws or place viruses, worms or Trojans on computers or other devices used to transmit or store your personal information.  We will take commercially reasonable measures to reduce the risk that your personal information is disclosed to or accessed by third parties inadvertently or without authorization, but we cannot entirely eliminate that risk.  By providing us with your personal information, you accept the risk that your personal information may be disclosed to or accessed by third parties inadvertently or without authorization.  Tucker Arensberg is not responsible for the actions, conduct, errors or omissions of third parties who may access or attempt to access your personal information without our consent and authorization or for the outcomes or consequences that result from such unauthorized access.
