Such measures may include access controls, system monitoring, software updates, and security practices appropriate to the nature of the website and the limited scope of data processed.

However, no method of transmission over the internet and no method of electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, while reasonable efforts are made to safeguard information, Chefivancooks cannot warrant or guarantee absolute security.
