We retain the information you provide to us to verify various transactions and customer details and to retain adequate records for legal, statutory and accounting purposes. This information is held on secure servers in controlled facilities. Our Digital Platform(s) use a process called Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. SSL locks all critical information passed from you to us in an encrypted envelope, making it extremely difficult for this information to be intercepted.
