We require parties with whom we share aggregate information to agree that they will not attempt to make this information personally identifiable, such as by combining it with other databases.

How Generate Handles Privacy and Security Internally

We take reasonable measures to protect your Personally Identifiable Information. Listed below are some of the security procedures that our Site uses to protect your privacy:

• Requires both a personal username and a password in order for users to access their Personally Identifiable Information.
• Uses firewalls to protect information held in our servers.
• Utilizes Secure Socket Layer (SSL/TLS) encryption in transmitting Personally Identifiable Information to our servers. In order to take advantage of encryption technology, you must have an Internet browser which supports 128-bit encryption.
• Closely monitors the limited number of Generate employees who have potential access to your Personally Identifiable Information.
• Requires all Generate employees to abide by our Privacy Policy and be subject to disciplinary action if they violate it.
• Backs up our systems to protect the integrity of your Personally Identifiable Information.

Despite continued efforts to protect your Personally Identifiable Information, there is always some risk that an unauthorized third party may find a way around our security systems or that transmissions of your information over the Internet will be intercepted. We cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our Site and we are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Site. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. We urge you to be careful about giving out information in public areas of the Site like message boards. The information you share in public areas may be viewed by any user of the Site.
