Security of Communications

We recognize that many people are concerned about the privacy and protection of information as it is transmitted over the Internet. You should keep in mind that the possibility exists for unauthorized individuals to intercept any email message you send over the Internet.

Certain technology and practices allow Web sites to provide an increased level of security for your personal and health-related information when appropriate.
