Access to your personal information is limited to our authorized staff who need that information to perform their job functions in relation to the publication, billing, and distribution of Abilities Magazine or other relevant CAF programs. However, we cannot guarantee the security of any Account information, unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors, may compromise the security of information at any time.
