Restricted file access to personal information;
·
Deploying technological safeguards like encryption
and security software and firewalls to prevent hacking or unauthorized computer

"Phishing"
is a fraudulent practice designed to steal your Personal Information. If you
receive an e-mail that looks like it is from Resource Multimedia asking you for
your Personal Information, do not respond. We will never request your password, user name, credit
card information, or other Personal Information through e-mail.
A website cannot be
completely absolutely protected against intentional or malicious intrusion
attempts. Further, we do not control the devices or computers or the internet
over which you may choose to send Personal Information and cannot, therefore,
prevent such interceptions of compromises to your Personal Information while in
transit to us. If we learn that your
Personal Information has been disclosed in a manner that is not in accordance
with this Privacy Policy, we will use reasonable efforts to advise you of the
disclosure as soon as reasonably possible.
