Integrity and Security

BGCFV employs commercially reasonable managerial and technical measures to help protect the security and integrity of the personal information it collects online through this site. You acknowledge, however, that no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while BGCFV strives to protect your personal information, BGCFV cannot ensure the security of any information you transmit to or from this site.

Carefully review the approach these sites take to your privacy before you use them or provide them with information.

We assume no liability for any unauthorized actions of third parties or accidental transmission errors that may disclose information about you, and BGCFV is not responsible for these other sites’ privacy practices, which may be different from BGCFV’s privacy practices.
