Since our founding in 2003, we have been committed to the privacy and security rights of our members. We have created an exhaustive privacy and data security program and we will always clearly communicate any changes to that program with members.
We are committed to the transparency of our privacy practices and that's why we have instituted open, independent checks on our privacy promises, including an independent and public security and privacy audit, the appointment of an independent privacy ombudsman, and an unprecedented Clear Identity Theft Warranty.
In July, 2008, Ernst & Young LLP concluded the fourth annual comprehensive, independent audit of our privacy policies and practices.
