We also use Secure Sockets Layer(SSL) [d]encryption when transmitting sensitive information. In addition, our business practices are reviewed periodically for compliance with policies and procedures governing the security and confidentiality of our information.

Please keep in mind that due to the inherent nature of the Internet, there is no way to make the transmission of electronic data entirely safe from intrusion.

If the volume or complexity of the request requires internal processing at My Hotsheet beyond 30 days, My Hotsheet will inform the requester within 30 days of the reasons for an extension and may charge a reasonable fee to cover administrative costs.

Security of all information is of the utmost importance for My Hotsheet. My Hotsheet uses technical and physical safeguards to protect the security of your Personal Information from unauthorized disclosure. We use encryption technology to keep all information secure. We also make all attempts to ensure that only necessary people and third parties have access to Personal Information. Nevertheless, such security measures cannot prevent all loss, misuse, or alteration of Personal Information and, unless otherwise agreed in a written agreement between My Hotsheet And the applicable party, we are not responsible for any damages or liabilities relating to any such incidents to the fullest extent permitted by law. In the case of a data breach, we will notify you without undue delay of any loss, misuse or alteration of Personal Information that may affect you.
