6. Security.
We use what we believe to be appropriate procedures to protect information against unauthorized access and disclosure, including Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS).

Regardless of the precautions taken by you or by us, “perfect security” does not exist on the Internet. Third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications, and other users may abuse or misuse your personal information that they collect from the Site. Therefore, although we work very hard to protect your privacy, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information or private communications will always remain private. We cannot ensure or warrant the ultimate security of any information you transmit.
Payment processing will be performed by third party vendors which have their own security policies that relate to the data it processes. For information about how third party vendors’ collect, maintain and use your payment information, please view that third party vendor’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
To help maintain the security of your personal information, CCD asks that you please notify it immediately of any unauthorized access or use of the Site, its features, or its content.
