Aggregate information

We may share aggregate or de-identified information without restriction. While this information will not identify you personally, in some instances the third parties may be able to combine this aggregate information with other data they have about you, or that they receive from third parties, in a manner that allows them to identify you personally.

How do we protect your information?

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information.

Our website is scanned on a regular basis for security holes and known vulnerabilities. All sensitive information you supply (such as credit card numbers, licensing information, and employee identification numbers) is encrypted during transmission via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.
All payment card transactions are processed through a gateway provider and are not stored or processed on our servers.

No method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure; as a result, we cannot guarantee absolute security. You acknowledge that: (a) the limitations of the Internet are beyond our control; (b) the security, integrity and privacy of information and data exchanged between you and us cannot be guaranteed; and (c) any such information and data may be viewed or tampered with in transit by a third party. MBC has no responsibility or liability for the security of information transmitted via the Internet. If you have any questions about security, you can contact us at privacy@medicalboardcases.com.
