Our computer database has been carefully designed to guarantee the confidentiality of your private information and includes password and firewall protection. We take serious steps to ensure the privacy of our clients' sensitive information. For example, each social security number (needed for the Coast Guard Application) entered into our database is automatically expunged from the database immediately upon sending your file to the Coast Guard.
