We restrict authorized access to your personal information to those persons who have a legitimate purpose to know that information to provide products or services to you and those persons you have authorized to have access to such information.

CirclDot follows generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once CirclDot receives it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while CirclDot strives to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
