Passwords and firewalls safeguard the confidentiality of your personal information on our computer systems and on a third party database system. Additionally, our employees are trained to protect the confidentiality of your information and access is restricted to relevant employees. However, despite these protections, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. CCF’s agents, employees, officers, directors, legal representatives, predecessors, successors, and assigns are not responsible for the security of information transmitted over the Internet.
