Privacy Policy Website Security Statement / Website Privacy Practices General Privacy Policy We are committed to maintaining our website as a useful and user-friendly communications resource for our customers. Naturally, security of personal information is a significant concern to all of our online customers. Encryption The security of the communications between your computer and our servers is protected using cryptography. Cryptography scrambles messages exchanged between your browser and our server. When you log-in to our website using your password, your browser establishes a secure session with our server. The secure session is established using a protocol called Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Encryption. This protocol requires the exchange of what are called public and private keys. Keys are random numbers that are only known between your browser and our server. After the keys are exchanged, your browser will use the numbers to scramble (encrypt) the messages sent between your browser and our server. Both sides require the keys because they need to de-scramble (decrypt) the messages when they are received. The SSL protocol, not only encrypts your data, but also prevents another browser from impersonating your browser, or altering any of the information sent. You can tell whether your browser is in secure mode by looking for the secured lock symbol at the bottom of your browser window and noticing that the URL (web site address) changing from http to https.
