We endeavor to apply suitable safeguards to protect the privacy and security of your personal information and to use it only consistent with your relationship with us and the practices described in this Privacy Policy.  We also take steps to minimize the risk to your rights and freedoms by not collecting or storing sensitive or special categories of personal information about you.
