Security
Flourish may use a number of mechanisms to protect the security and integrity of your personal information.

For example, your personal information may be stored either in hard copy documents or as electronic data in our software or systems. We use locks and security systems to physically protect your personal information and firewalls and other security systems to control access to our computer systems.

Should you wish to access your personal information, please provide us with as much detail as you can about the particular information you seek, in order to help us retrieve it and identify you. We may recover from you our reasonable costs of providing you with access. If we refuse to provide you with access to your personal information, we will inform you of the reasons why we have denied you access.
