Notwithstanding the foregoing, despite our reasonable efforts to protect your personal information, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable.

You understand that it may be possible for third parties not under Sprecher’s control to intercept or access your personal information transmitted through one of our Sites or via email. Accordingly, although we undertake commercially reasonable steps to protect the security and integrity of all information you provide through our Sites, due to the inherent nature of the Internet, we cannot guarantee that any such information will be absolutely safe from intrusion by others who do not have your authorization. Any such transmission of information about you to Sprecher is at your own risk. If you have reason to believe that your personal information is not secure, please contact us immediately.
