SECURITY OF YOUR INFORMATION/SECURITY MEASURES

ALIL uses reasonable organizational, technical, and administrative measures to prevent the unauthorized release of or access to Personal Data. All information you provide to us is stored on secure servers.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your Personal Data, we cannot completely guarantee the security or confidentiality of any communication or material transmitted to/from ALIL via the Site or any other electronic means, including email. Accordingly, ALIL is not responsible for the security of information transmitted via the Internet. Any transmission is at your own risk. For more private communication, you may contact ALIL by telephone at the phone numbers provided on the Site or as indicated in the Contact Us section below.

Once we have received your Personal Data, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorized access. We also keep your information confidential. The internal procedures of ALIL cover the storage, access, and disclosure of your information.

RETENTION OF YOUR INFORMATION

We will only retain your Personal Data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise received by us, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for your Personal Data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of your Personal Data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Data, the purposes for which we process your Personal Data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements, including the statute of limitations periods.

CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time, including as required to keep current with rules and regulations, new technologies, and security standards. When we do, we will post the change(s) on our Site and display an effective date at the top of this Privacy Policy so that it will be easier for you to know when there has been a change.
