Please be aware that, despite our best intentions and the guidelines outlined in this Privacy Policy, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Moreover, Converge may be legally obligated to disclose certain information to the government or to third parties under certain circumstances, such as if illegal activity occurs on the site.
