Security/How Your Personally Identifiable Information Is Protected

Security for all personally identifiable information is extremely important to us. We have implemented technical, administrative and physical security measures to attempt to protect your personally identifiable information from unauthorized access and improper use. We also protect your personally identifiable information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment. We continually review all such measures and update them when appropriate. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, Hough Werks cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit via the internet. By transmitting any such information to Hough Werks, you accept that you do so at your own risk. 

Your Acceptance of These Terms: By using Hough Werks, you accept the policies and restrictions set forth in this Online Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this policy, please do not use houghwerks.com. This Online Privacy Policy may be revised from time to time by updating this posting.
