Data Collected from Registered Users
We need to collect Personal Information such as name, phone number, email address,
state, and country in order for you to register for Services or to respond to your

potential users of our Services. These services employ their own mechanisms to
enable individuals to opt out of email distribution lists.

provide you with the service or product and follow up with you directly
regarding their service or product.

All information that you provide us that forms the content of a certificate will
be "published" in a repository that can be accessed by third parties. No person
should have any expectation of privacy in the contents of a certificate.

SECURITY
We consider the protection of all personal information we receive from our Web
Site visitors, Subscribers, Relying Parties, and Certificate Holders as a core
responsibility. We have security measures in place to protect against the loss,
misuse, and alteration of Personal Information. As with any transmission over the
Internet, however, there is always some element of risk involved in sending
personal information. In order to try to minimize this risk, we encrypt
information that you submit to us electronically when submitting requests or
ordering certificates. We implement data security safeguards based upon generally
accepted industry standards to protect your Personal Information from unauthorized
access, use, disclosure, alteration, or loss. Nonetheless, no data security
techniques are 100% effective, and we cannot guarantee its security.

post a notice on our Web Site and, if appropriate, by email.
