We take reasonable steps, consistent with generally accepted industry standards, including technical, administrative, and physical safeguards to protect the personal information submitted to us from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction.
11.2. However, there is no perfect security, and reasonable security is a process that involves risk management rather than risk elimination. While we are committed to maintaining a reasonable information security program, no such program can be perfect; in other words, all risk cannot reasonably be eliminated. Data security incidents and breaches can occur due to factors that cannot reasonably be prevented. Accordingly, it cannot be assumed that the occurrence of any given incident or breach results from our failure to implement and maintain reasonable security.
