We may use third-party services such as Google Analytics to collect anonymized data for understanding website traffic and engagement. These services may use cookies and similar technologies.  You may adjust your browser settings to disable cookies, although this may affect your experience with the Site.

SSCTR employs appropriate administrative and technical measures to safeguard your data against unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, or destruction.  However, no method of online transmission or storage is completely secure, and SSCTR cannot guarantee absolute security.
