“Do Not Track” Signals

Some internet browsers incorporate a “Do Not Track” feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Given that there is not a uniform way that browsers communicate the “Do Not Track” signal, the Sites do not currently interpret, respond to or alter their practices when it receives “Do Not Track” signals.

Security

JFEDLA makes extensive use of technologies and techniques to help protect the integrity of the personal information you provide to us. However, no security measure or modality of data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. Although we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you are concerned about providing sensitive information, you may wish to do so via phone, regular mail, or during a personal consultation, rather than digitally.

Outside Links

Our Sites may contain links to outside websites that are not owned or controlled by JFEDLA. We are not responsible for the privacy protections provided by sites outside of the JFEDLA sites, even if they are linked to ours. A link to an outside site, company, or organization in no way constitutes an endorsement or approval of that site, information, service, or organization, either outright or implied, and JFEDLA accepts no responsibility or liability for these other websites.
