We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Site.

ONWARD TRANSFERS

Landstar will obtain assurances from its Agents and any third party to whom Landstar discloses personal information that such Agent and/or third party will safeguard personal information consistently with this Statement.
