How We Keep Your Information Secure
We use advanced security measures to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information
under our control. Specifically, we use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology for the areas of our site
where we ask you to provide personally identifiable information. SSL technology guarantees that the
personal information you give us will be transmitted safely because the information is encrypted.
Encryption involves systematically scrambling numbers and letters so that if a third party were
intercept a packet of information, they would not be able to make sense of it. Although encryption
slows the process of sending information across the Internet, it does provide additional security for
that information.
You can tell you have entered a secured area when you look at the Universal Resource Locator (URL)
in your browser's address bar and see that it has "https://" before the rest of the Web address.
The "s" means that the page is hosted from a secured server. We use secured servers for our Candidate
Portal pages, and your Account pages. Unsecured pages have URLs that begin with "http://" (without the "s").
You may on occasion encounter a standard warning that many browsers display when a visitor moves from
a "secured" page to an "unsecured" page. When you encounter such a warning on our Web site, it usually
means that you are moving from an "https://" to an "http://" page. If you see other browser warnings or
error messages concerning the security of our site, please Contact Us. Include the specific wording you
saw and the URL where you encountered the message. Providing us with these details helps us to know if
you have encountered a technical difficulty or a standard warning like the one described above.
