  1. Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure.

No website, email system, or online service is fully secure. The FTC notes that businesses should assess what information they collect, who has access to it, and how it is protected.

Some information may need to be retained for legal, tax, accounting, contract, or legitimate business purposes.

Indiana’s Consumer Data Protection Act took effect January 1, 2026, and applies to certain businesses that meet data-processing thresholds. Businesses subject to the law must provide an easy-to-access privacy notice.
