• Security

You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your unique password and account information at all times.

We use what we believe to be appropriate procedures to protect information against unauthorized access and disclosure.  Information you elect to post on our Site, emails and other information you send to us are not encrypted and such transmissions cannot be considered a secure means of transmitting sensitive information.

You should be aware of the limitations of security, authentication, encryption, and privacy measures used in connection with the Internet and that any information you transmit through the Site may be damaged, corrupted, “sniffed” and/or accessed by another person without your permission.  Regardless of the precautions taken by you or by us, “perfect security” does not exist on the Internet.  Third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications, and other users may abuse or misuse your personal information that they collect from the Site.  Therefore, although we work very hard to protect your privacy, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information or private communications will always remain private.

The Expat Woman may modify this Policy at any time.  You should review all applicable terms regularly.  When we revise this Policy, we will post the revised version on the Site.  Any revised version of this Policy will be effective upon posting on the Site, unless otherwise set forth therein or as otherwise provided by us or required by applicable law.  You are free to decide whether or not to accept a revised version of this Policy, but accepting this Policy, as revised, is required for you to continue accessing and using the Site.  If you do not agree to this Policy or any revised version of this Policy, your sole recourse is to terminate your access to and use of the Site.  Except as otherwise expressly stated by us, your access to and use of the Site are subject to, and constitute your acceptance of, the version of this Policy in effect at the time of your access or use.
