Security and Information Protection
i-Guardian recognizes the value and importance of your information and we are very concerned with safeguarding the Service. We have implemented technical and organizational measures designed to secure the Service and your User Content from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration or disclosure. The data centers used to host i-Guardian servers are protected by physical access control, video surveillance, and intrusion detection systems and all information transmitted via the Service is encrypted using secure socket layer (SSL) encryption. However, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat those measures or use your User Content for improper purposes. i-Guardian has no control over the actions of other Members with whom you share information including but not limited to User Content. Furthermore, the security and stability of the Site and Service are reliant on hardware and software which can fail or otherwise malfunction and that could potentially compromise your information. You acknowledge that you provide your User Content at your own risk. Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns. We will make legally required disclosures of any breach of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of your unencrypted stored information including User Content (as defined in applicable state statutes on security breach notification) to you via email or via conspicuous posting on the Service in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay insofar as consistent with the legitimate needs of law enforcement and/or any measures necessary to determine the scope of the breach and restore the reasonable integrity of the data system. Identity theft and the practice currently known as “phishing” are of great concern to us. Safeguarding information to help protect you from identity theft is a top priority. We do not and will not, at any time, request your username, password, or other confidential or personal information in a non-secure or unsolicited e-mail or telephone communication.
