"5. SECURITY

The importance of security for all personally identifiable information that
you provide us is of great concern to us. Unfortunately, no data
transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a
result, while we strive to protect your personal information, Holland
America cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you
transmit to us; in other words, you do so at your own risk. Once we receive
your transmission, we use our reasonable best efforts to ensure its security
on our systems. Most information you provide to our site is transmitted
using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption. SSL is a coding system that lets
your browser automatically encrypt, or scramble, data before you send it to
us."
