Tracking
We do not engage in the collection of personally identifiable information about your activities over time and across third-party websites or online services. Accordingly, we do not currently process or comply with any web browser¡¯s ¡°do not track¡± signal or other mechanisms that provide consumers with the ability to exercise choice regarding the collection of personally identifiable information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites. However, we may from time to time allow third-party companies to collect certain non-personally identifiable information (see the description under ¡°Third-Party Information Collection¡± above).
Information Security
Lessen works hard to protect our users from unauthorized access
to the Application or unauthorized alteration, disclosure, or destruction of
information we hold. In particular:
• We regularly review our information collection, storage, and processing practices, including physical security measures, to guard against unauthorized access to systems; and
• Except as otherwise set forth in the ¡°Information Sharing¡± section above, we restrict access to Personal Information to Lessen employees, contractors, and agents who need to know such information, and who are subject to contractual confidentiality obligations.
The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have implemented security measures to restrict access to certain areas of the Application, you are responsible for abiding by all such security measures, including keeping any passwords and access methods strictly confidential.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet (especially wireless internet) is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your information, especially all Personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Information transmitted through the Application. Any transmission of Personal Information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures we provide.

• Tracking Technologies. You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you disable or refuse cookies, or block the use of other tracking technologies, some parts of the Application may then be inaccessible or not function properly.

We strive to maintain the accuracy of any personally identifiable information that may be collected from you, and will use our commercially reasonable efforts to promptly update our database when you tell us the information in our database is not accurate.

If you wish to make any changes to any personally identifiable information you have provided to us, you may do so at any time by contacting us at privacy@lessen.com.
