Security
This website takes every precaution to protect
information. When users submit sensitive information via the website, your
information is protected both online and off-line. When our site requests
user name/passwords that information is encrypted and is
protected with the
best encryption software in the industry; SSL. While on a secure page the lock
icon on the bottom of Web
browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft
Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you
are just
'surfing'. To learn more about SSL, follow this link http://www.verisign.com
. While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive
information online,
we also do everything in our power to protect information off-line. All of our
information, not just the sensitive
information mentioned above, is
restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a
specific job are
granted access to said information. Furthermore, employees
are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Finally, the
servers that we store information on are kept in a secure environment. If
you have any questions about the security of our website,
you can send an email to eiprivacypolicy@csc.com.
