We do not represent or warrant that the Website, or any part thereof, is appropriate or available for use in any particular geographic location.

5. How to protect your information
Transmission Errors or Unauthorized Acts: Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100 percent secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, World Pancreatic Cancer Day cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or any information provided online, and you do so at your own risk. World Pancreatic Cancer Day and its initial host, the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, will not be liable for disclosures of your personal information due to errors in transmission or unauthorized acts of third parties. However, once we receive your transmission, we do our best to ensure its security on our systems by making reasonable efforts to protect the information.
Security: Our Web site will not collect financial or personal health data from users, as such SSL encryption is not used to protect data transmissions from your computer to our Web site. You are able to see when the SSL encryption is active either by the “padlock” icon at the top or bottom of your browser’s. In certain areas, password protection is used to protect your privacy and security. Any information provided on this Web site is treated with care and discretion. We will take a proactive approach to ensure the information is kept private and not misused.
6. Safeguarding information
We maintain – and we ask any third-party partners that store information on our behalf to maintain – reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards for personal information collected through the Website. These safeguards are designed to protect the personal information we collect against theft; loss; misuse; or unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Our service providers are given the information they need to perform their designated functions, and we do not authorize them to use or disclose personal information for their own marketing or other purposes.
