SJT’s Privacy Policy describes how we treat information received about you when you use the this web site.

This policy is divided into the following convenient sections:

• Customer Information
• Web Site Use
• Cookies

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. Also, please remember that no computer system should be considered safe from intrusion. E-mail may pass through many computer systems before it arrives at its final destination, and should not be considered a secure means of communication unless encrypted. Even then, information is only as secure as the encryption method. Therefore, although we take many precautions to protect our system and our servers, we cannot guarantee the security of any data on any server, including "secure servers."
