Security
As your privacy is extremely important to us, we exercise great care in providing secure transmission of your information from your computer to our servers. Unfortunately, no transmission of data over the Internet can be guaranteed to be totally secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. As soon as we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems. Jillies employs the following security procedures to protect your privacy:
Requires both a personal username (log-in name) and a password in order for users to access their personally identifiable information.
Requires a public 'nickname' different from the username and password, used for any public forums like message boards.
Uses firewalls to protect information held in our servers.
Closely monitors the limited number of Jillies employees who have potential access to your personally identifiable information.
Requires all Jillies employees to abide by our Privacy Policy and to be subject to disciplinary action if they violate it.
Backs-up our systems to protect the integrity of your personally identifiable information.
Despite Jillies' efforts to protect your personally identifiable information, there is always some risk that an unauthorized third party may find a way around our security systems or that transmissions of your information over the Internet may be intercepted.
