MyRecovery uses a variety of industry-standard security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information and personal Content from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Although myRecovery has taken significant steps to ensure that your personal information and personal Content is not intercepted, accessed, used, or disclosed by unauthorized persons, you should know that myRecovery cannot fully eliminate security risks and you agree myRecovery will not be held liable for the disclosure of your Personal Information or Content.

MyRecovery’s servers automatically record information about your use of this Site (such as number of sign-ins and number of times a link was clicked). This information is stored in association with your Account. MyRecovery may present links in a format that enables us to keep track of whether these links have been followed. We use this information to improve the quality of our customized content and advertising. MyRecovery also collects any information that you voluntarily provide, either by posting it on this Site or by adding it to your personal profile.
