3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track the activity on our website and hold certain information. Cookies are files with a small amount of data which may include an anonymous unique identifier. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our website.

4. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to other sites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site.

5. Data Security

The security of your data is critical to us. We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information, including encryption and secure server hosting. However, remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

While our Teen Driver Safety programs are designed for young adults, we do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from children without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.
