• Do Not Track Policy
Some browsers use a DNT (Do Not Track) feature that sends a signal or preference to the websites regarding DNT. Because there is no currently accepted industry standard on how to respond to the different DNT signals, we do not currently respond to them on our website. We will continue to work with and stay abreast of any common industry standard that the online industry defines on treating DNT signals. 

Data Security
We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers behind firewalls. Any payment transactions that include Sensitive Personal Information will be encrypted using SSL technology that works with the following browsers: Google Chrome, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozzila Firefox, and Safari. If your browser does not support SSL, you will need to upgrade to a new version that does for online purchases. Or, you may fax, mail or phone in your order. 
The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. We urge you to be careful about giving out information in public areas of the website like message boards located on PWCToday at www.pwctoday.com. The information you share in public areas may be viewed by any user of the website.
