Security of your Personal Information

NASSCO secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. NASSCO uses the  Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol to secure personal information you provide to NASSCO.

When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other websites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the SSL protocol.

NASSCO strives to take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or alteration of your personal information. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while NASSCO strives to protect your personal information, you acknowledge that: (a) there are security and privacy limitations inherent to the Internet which are beyond NASSCO’s control; and (b) security, integrity, and privacy of any and all information and data exchanged between you and NASSCO through the NASSCO website cannot be guaranteed.
