How secure is my data stored in RallyPoint?

I am concerned about privacy and data protection.
Recently I took a position with a 3 letter institution and during my interview and clearance reading they talk about social media.

I really don't know and that scares me.

Much like GySgt Michael Lange said no data is completely secure. Some data is more secure then other data but as long as you have electrons and 1 and 0 transmitting data is available.

really depends on how you are defining secure. 100% secure. That is a fable. Is it not "low hanging fruit" with appropriate technological securities and a defense in depth, I would wager so.

Security is always relative.

Is the data secure enough that it would require the expenditure of more time and resources to obtain the data than the data is worth? Probably. Is the data secure enough so that someone who was determined to get that data, and had considerable resources available, could not obtain the data? Doubtful.

Personally I don't see an issue, I really didn't provide RP any information that I wouldn't provide to about 90% of websites request to start a membership with, if anything I provided less because they didn't ask for much.
