Your password is the key to ensuring your personally identifiable information remains private. Use a unique sequence of letters and numbers and characters. You are responsible for all actions taken in the name of your account so it is important to keep your password private.

Security
The security of your personal information is of utmost importance to us. Your information is stored on our secure servers located in Canada. We use both physical and technological tools to help keep that information secure. When you enter sensitive information (such as credit card and bank account), trAloola encrypts that information using SSL technology. trAaloola follows generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once trAloola receives it. No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we use commercially accepted means to protect your personal information we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

There are some things that users can do to help protect the security of this Personal Information as well. For instance, users should never give out their password. Also, every user should click on the “log out” button on the Site and close their browser window when they finish surfing the Web so that other people using the same computer will not have access to the information.
