Disclosure of Personal Information

The MHSOBA may use third parties to provide services on the Website or for other purposes. The MHSOBA may share your personal information as necessary for the third parties to provide those services. These third parties are prohibited from using your personal information for any other purpose.

Security

When you enter sensitive information (such as credit card numbers) on the Website, that information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL).
