8. SECURITY
To prevent unauthorized access, safeguard data accuracy, and maintain the appropriate use of information, AO has put in place appropriate procedures to protect personal information that AO stores. AO makes every effort to ensure the integrity and security of AO’s network and systems. However, since the Internet is not 100% secure and as new technology evolves and emerges, AO cannot guarantee that AO’s security measures will prevent third-party interferences from illegally obtaining or tampering with your personal information. AO encourages you to help AO by also taking precautions to protect your personal information when you use the Services and to notify AO immediately if you believe there has been a security breach.
