How We Protect Information:

We implement generally accepted industry standards to maintain the safety of your Personal Data against loss, alteration, theft or access by unauthorized third parties when you enter, submit, or access your Personal Data and once we receive it. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is flawless or entirely secure.

Therefore, while we strive to protect your Personal Data via the aforementioned technical and organizational means, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. What we can guarantee is that we will not sell, share, transfer or use the data We collect from you for purposes other than those purposes stated expressly herein above.

The above notwithstanding, ICMC will not be liable or responsible for any damage or loss resulting from the improper use or any breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, personal data.
