Your personal information will be password protected. You should take appropriate measures to protect the
secrecy of your password, and if you share a computer then you should remember to sign out and close the
browser window when finished with a SelectScience session.
We have security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under

Notification of Changes
While we strive to protect your personal information and privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of any

at the time it was collected, we will notify users by email. Users will have a choice as to whether or
not we can use their information in this different manner. We will use information in accordance with
the privacy policy under which the information was collected.
