Security

The security of the information you provide to HRSD is important to us. HRSD maintains safeguards designed to protect Customer Information from accidental loss and unauthorized access, use, alteration and disclosure. Although HRSD believes these safeguards are appropriate, no method of storing or transmitting information over the Internet is completely secure. HRSD cannot guarantee the security of personal information transmitted to our website.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. In using certain services offered on our website, you may be assigned a user ID and choose a password. You are solely responsible for:

  • Maintaining the confidentiality of your user ID and password.
  • All activities that occur under your user ID and password. HRSD suggests that you do not share your password with anyone.
  • Immediately notifying HRSD of any unauthorized use of your user ID, password or Customer Information, or any other breach of security regarding the website of which you are aware.

HRSD will not be liable for any loss arising from failing to comply with these security requirements and you agree to hold HRSD harmless from any and all losses that arise from any such failure to comply.
