We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you provide through the website.

Kristen Loesch follows generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once Kristen Loesch receives it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure.
