We will never ask for them, so neither should anyone else. Use only a screen name and/or e-mail address when chatting or sending e-mail. You may wish to delete unknown e-mail attachments before opening them. They can contain destructive viruses. Remember that nothing you write on the Web is completely private - including e-mail. So be careful and think about what you type and whom you tell. Not everyone is as trustworthy and honorable as they may seem online. Security Although we have taken security precautions, no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of our databases, nor can we guarantee that Information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet. Reviewing, Correcting or Deleting Information You may view and correct your information by accessing your account information by clicking the “account information” link on the bulletin board.
