Data
Security
.
CMH
maintains safeguards to help safeguard the security of your personally
identifiable information. For example, all personally identifiable information obtained
through the Website is handled in accordance with HTTPS
protocol,
and
is automatically encrypted. However,
no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage,

means to protect personally identifiable information, CMH cannot guarantee its
absolute security.
The
safety and security of your personally identifiable information also depends on

you have chosen a password for access to certain parts of the Website, you are
responsible for keeping this password confidential.

with local laws

agree that personally identifiable information will be transferred to, stored
in, and processed in the United States, and may otherwise be transferred to,
stored in, and processed in a country outside of the country from which you are
accessing the Website, including outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). Each of these countries has different privacy
laws that afford varying levels of protection for personally identifiable
information, and such laws may not be as comprehensive as those that exist in
the EEA.

Information

will retain personally identifiable information about you for the period
necessary to fulfill the purposes for which personally identifiable information
