However, the Company cannot guarantee the effectiveness or absolute security of these measures. It is always possible that a hacker may succeed in penetrating the Company’s servers, or that another breach of confidentiality of your personal information may occur. In the event of a confidentiality incident involving your personal information, the Company will notify you as required by law.
