18. SECURITY
This Web site takes every precaution to protect our users’ information. When users submit sensitive information via the Web site, their information is protected both online and off-line. When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry – SSL, 40-bit. While on a secure page, such as our order form, 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 users are just ‘surfing’. Users credit card information is stored on computers that are not connected to the Internet. We restrict access to users’ personally identifiable information to employees who need to know that information in order to provide products or services to users. Our employees use a password-protected database to access user information. Finally, the servers that store personally identifiable information are in a secure environment, in a locked facility. ISPE Members have access to a searchable online Membership Directory in the password-protected Members-Only section of the ISPE Web site. ISPE Members may ‘opt-out’ of having their name posted in the ISPE Membership Directory. Designated leaders in each ISPE Affiliate and Chapter have access to a password-protected area on the ISPE Web site to download the names and contact information for ISPE Members and nonmembers in their local area.
