7. Is PII About Me Secure?
You need to do what you can to prevent unauthorized access to your account and PII by selecting and protecting your password appropriately and limiting access to your computer and browser by signing off after you have finished accessing your account. We endeavor to protect account information to ensure that it is kept private; however, we cannot guarantee the security of any account information. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors, may compromise the security of user information at any time. We otherwise store all of our information, including your IP address information, using industry-standard security techniques. We do not guarantee or warrant that such techniques will prevent unauthorized access to information about you we store, PII or otherwise. We are not responsible for any security incidents that result from your use of third-party services including those offered by Agents associated with Zarco Properties (who are independent contractors of Zarco Properties). In no event shall Zarco Properties incur any legal, financial, or other liability for security incidents caused by your use of third-party services or otherwise attributable to our Agents, Affiliates, or third-party service providers.
