Security
The Fund is committed to preventing unauthorized third parties from accessing the personal information you provide to us, and we maintain commercially reasonable procedures and technology
designed for this purpose. This Website has reasonable technical and organizational security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of information under our control,
such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology. However, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat those security measures. Although we
cannot guarantee that our systems are 100% secure 100% of the time, we periodically update and test our technology in order to improve the protection of user information.
Your participation is also important to our security efforts. We suggest you take steps to protect your computer's security, which include the following:
- Passwords. Create a strong password using a combination of letters, numbers and symbols. Do not share your password with anyone.
Change your password often.
- Software Updates. Ensure your computer and internet browser software are up-to-date.
- Security Software. Install anti-virus software on your computer and routinely scan for viruses, keyloggers, spyware and other
programs that may become installed on your computer without your permission. If you believe you have received a virus from this Website, please alert us as soon as possible so
that we may take remedial measures to remove the virus.
- Log Off. Always log off the Website after completing your activities.
The Fund does not send emails to users requesting their payment, login or password information. If you receive an email purporting to be from the Fund requesting your personal,
financial, or login information, do not provide such information unless you have first verified that the email is from the Fund. Such emails may be fraudulent and used in connection
with scams known as phishing. The Fund requests that you report any suspicious emails, websites or other activity to the Fund.
