The technologies used in the Services to collect Usage Information, including Device Identifiers, may include, but are not necessarily limited to:
Cookies. A cookie is a data file placed on a Device when it is used to access the Services.

Security
The importance of security for all Personal Information associated with our guests is of utmost concern to us. We exercise great care in providing secure transmission of your information from your internet-enabled device to our servers. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your Personal Information, we can’t ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from the Services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.
To the extent that you create an account, your Josepha account will be password protected so that only you can access it and view the member information relevant to the account. We recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone. We will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call or email. Ultimately, you are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and any account information. Remember to sign out of your account and close your browser window when you have finished your work. This is to ensure that others cannot access your Personal Information and correspondence if your computer is accessible to others or if you share a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a public place.
