We will take appropriate steps to protect the security of your personal information. We will also protect your personal information in storage.

All sensitive information (such as your credit card information) provided to the LandCAN through our (or our partners) websites is transmitted either to us or to our credit card processor using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption.
