Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

If you do not wish to receive them, you have the option to deactivate your account. Minors ALS website is not intended to be targeted to minors under applicable law and we do not intend to sell any of our Services to minors.
