Our sites may use cookies to uniquely identify your browser, for purposes such as helping you log in faster (or stay logged in), improving your navigation through the site, remembering your preferences and settings, analyzing usage patterns to see how our products perform, and for advertising purposes. If you do not want to accept cookies, please refer to your browser's technical information for instructions on how to delete and disable them. Some site features may not work properly with cookies disabled.

Security
We care about the security of your information, and take reasonable steps to protect it from misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorized access or disclosure. Our websites require HTTPS, which you can verify by looking for "https://" at the beginning of the URL. Within our company, we take steps to restrict access to personal data to as few people as possible. Our hosting partner, Amazon Web Services, provides security reports on their website.
The Loadster website requires a username and password to access your account and personal information. You are responsible for choosing a strong password and keeping it secret. You are also responsible for maintaining the security of any email accounts you use to communicate with us. We take steps to help you keep your account information secure, but we cannot ensure or warrant the security of information that you transmit to or receive from us, or guarantee that information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed.
We are not responsible for the functionality or security measures of any third party.
