disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Our web sites use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption on all

enabled browser 3 in order to protect the confidentiality of your personal and credit card information
while it’s transmitted over the Internet. You can help us by also taking precautions to protect your
personal data when you are on the Internet. Change your passwords often using a combination of
letters and numbers, and make sure you use a secure web browser.

guarantee that our security measures will prevent third-party “hackers” from illegally obtaining your
personal information.

guardians, or other adults often purchase our services for family use, including use by minors, such as a
birth certificate. We do not anticipate that any child will use our services. We do not knowingly collect
personal information from children under 13 for marketing or any other purposes, but because some
information is collected electronically, it can appear to be the personal information of the Company
purchaser of the service, and will be treated as such by this privacy policy. If a child under 13 submits
personal information to the Company and we learn that that personal information is the information of
a child under 13, we will attempt to delete the information as soon as possible. It is our policy to comply
with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 and all other applicable laws. Therefore, we
restrict our web site to persons 18 years or older.
