The protection of children is very important to us.  If you are under 18, please do not provide us with any personal information.

Children should always ask a parent or guardian for permission before sending personal information to anyone online.

7. Security

We place great importance on the security of your personal information and we always try to take appropriate precautions to protect it.  Unfortunately however, no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect our supporters' and users' personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information which you disclose to us online and you must understand that you do so at your own risk. We cannot be responsible for the theft, destruction, or inadvertent disclosure of your personal information.
