With Whom Do We Share Information That We Collect?

You may disable your online account access at any time; however, this will not necessarily result in the deletion of any Collected Information.

How Do We Protect Information Collected About You?

PretzelBox takes commercially reasonable measures to secure and protect information transmitted via or stored on the Website. Nevertheless, no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee that information that users of the Website may happen to transmit or otherwise supply will be totally secure. You agree to immediately notify us of any breach of the Website’s security, this Privacy Policy, or the Terms of Use of which you become aware.

If you are using the public PretzelBox system, you should have no expectation of privacy because anyone can read any email received and posted in any mailbox. Please do not use the public PretzelBox system for anything that you want to keep private.
