We may transfer your personal information to recipients in countries other than the country in which the information was originally collected, in particular to the United States of America.

For example, to protect your privacy, PAVE CENTRE uses passwords to help verify authorized user identity before granting access anywhere your personal information is stored. All online monetary transactions are done on a secure server. This means that information entered on the transaction page is encrypted before transmission. Though we strive to ensure the security of your information on our systems, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable and data transmission over the internet cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
