4. Link Disclaimer - THE HEALTHY HOOPS® PROGRAM may occasionally provide links to other entities' web sites for convenience to the visitor in locating health-related information, services, and products. A visitor is advised that when he/she links to other sites, that visitor is leaving THE HEALTHY HOOPS® PROGRAM's site, and these other sites are maintained by organizations over which THE HEALTHY HOOPS® PROGRAM has no control. Accordingly, a link on our web site(s) does not constitute endorsement of the content, viewpoint, policies, products or services provided or advertised on that site. Once a visitor links to a site not maintained by THE HEALTHY HOOPS® PROGRAM, that visitor would be subject to the terms and conditions of that site, including, but not limited to, its privacy policy.

5. Security Measures - THE HEALTHY HOOPS® PROGRAM has implemented numerous security features to prevent the unauthorized release of or access to personal information. For example, all THE HEALTHY HOOPS® PROGRAM employees are required to certify their understanding that personal information is considered confidential, that it is important to safeguard personal information, and that THE HEALTHY HOOPS® PROGRAM will take appropriate action against any employee who fails to acknowledge these facts or adhere to the requisite standards of conduct.

Please be advised, however, that the confidentiality of any communication or material transmitted to/from THE HEALTHY HOOPS® PROGRAM via this site or e-mail cannot be guaranteed. Accordingly, THE HEALTHY HOOPS® PROGRAM is not responsible for the security of information transmitted via the Internet.
