In addition, if you encounter problems while using the website, we may automatically collect information on the error and its occurrence. This data may include technical information about your equipment, what you were attempting to do when the error occurred, and other pertinent technical information. You may or may not receive notification of such errors, including their occurrence and nature, even in the instant they occur.

Security of Your Personal Information
When we collect and process personal information, and for as long as we have it, we shall protect it using commercially reasonable means against loss, theft, and unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, and alteration.

If your personal information is no longer required for this purpose, we will destroy or anonymize it by removing any identifying details.
However, if necessary, we may retain your personal information for our compliance with a legal, accounting, or reporting obligation or for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific, or historical research purposes or statistical purposes.
