4. Information Protection

Once NSL has received your personal information, it will use appropriate technical and organizational measures to safeguard your personal information against loss or theft and unauthorized access, modification, disclosure or use.  However, since no transmission of information over the Internet or electronic storage of information is completely secure, it is possible that personal information could be lost or stolen, or accessed, modified, disclosed or used without authorization, even if NSL uses such measures.  In providing information to NSL, you must assume the risk that personal information could be lost, stolen, or altered, destroyed, disclosed or used without authorization.
