Disclosure of Customer Information Through Business Transfers
As we continue to develop our business, we may buy, merge or partner with other companies or businesses, and in so doing, acquire customer information. In such transactions, user information may be among the transferred assets.

Security
Unless we expressly advise you otherwise, the online submission forms on our Site does not provide a means for completely secure and private communications between us. Like all unencrypted Internet communications, your communication may be accessed and viewed by other Internet users, without your knowledge and permission, while in transit to us.
For that reason, to protect your privacy, please do not use email to communicate information to us that you consider to be confidential. While we strive to protect your personal information, SarahCare® cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. If you wish, you may contact us instead via telephone at the numbers provided throughout the Site.
