SECURITY

Security of any data You submit via this site is very important to us. This site uses encryption technology, and we periodically review our security practices to help ensure that Your data is maintained securely. However, no system can perfectly guard against risks of intentional intrusion or inadvertent disclosure of information sent to us. Moreover, when You transmit information via the Internet, Your information will be transmitted over a medium that is beyond our control, and therefore the security of the transmission may be compromised before it reaches us. Accordingly, Hartigen makes no guarantee as to confidentiality or security. IN ADDITION, YOU HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND SOLELY ASSUME THE RISK OF ANY UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OR INTENTIONAL INTRUSION, OR OF ANY DELAY, FAILURE, INTERRUPTION OR CORRUPTION OF DATA OR OTHER INFORMATION TRANSMITTED IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SEEM PLATFORM. Your user name and password should be kept confidential. Failure to do so may also compromise the confidentiality of Your information. If You believe that Your user name or password has been compromised, You must contact Hartigen promptly.
