Personally Identifiable Account Information
Cornerstone may collect the information you voluntarily share with us in applying for services or request for information, as well as other information, for example through Internet Protocol (“IP”) addresses and the use of “Cookies,” which may be placed on your computer when you access the website. (See the sections on IP Addresses and “Cookies” below.)

Cornerstone may collect any content, record, or electronic communication of any kind, including without limitation your (1) contact information, (2) financial information, (3) demographic information, and (4) other personal information required to process your application to request services from Cornerstone, so that we may provide you with the information or services that you request, and so that we may communicate with you and send you information and materials for marketing and other purposes, subject to applicable laws and the terms of the Privacy Policy.

Cornerstone maintains full rights to any information collected on this website, and may freely collect, use and disclose such information unless specifically prohibited by this Privacy Policy or applicable law. In the event of a change in control of Cornerstone or sale by Cornerstone of substantially all of its assets, any information owned by or in the control of Cornerstone may be transferred to such Cornerstone successor, who will comply with the terms of this Privacy Policy.

Cornerstone reserves the right to log IP addresses for systems administration purposes. IP addresses are not used to track a user’s session. This information only helps us determine how often different areas of our site are visited. We do not link IP addresses to any personally identifiable information.

Security
We limit access to personally identifiable information about you to our employees and third-party agents who we reasonably believe need to have access to your information to provide you with the information or services you request from Cornerstone.

This website has security measures in place to help protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. While we cannot guarantee that loss, misuse, or alteration to data will not occur, Cornerstone uses industry standards, such as Secure Socket Layers (SSL) technology, to help safeguard against such occurrences. In certain areas, the information passed between your browser and our system is encrypted with SSL technology to create a protected connection between you and our website to ensure confidentiality. If a breach into our security systems occurs and there is a possibility that an unauthorized person acquires your personal information, Cornerstone will notify you of such a breach under applicable law.

Additionally, Cornerstone utilizes PCI DSS-certified third-party payment gateway Stripe™. All payment account numbers are immediately encrypted upon entry into Cornerstone's system. Stripe™ utilizes fraud prevention tools including multi-factor authentication log-ins to ensure that sensitive customer data is protected.

Your credit card number will not be displayed when confirming an order. It is, of course, necessary for us to transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order processing.
