Secure Your Trust At Merchandise Select, providing a secure environment for our customers is one of our top priorities. Our system incorporates a number of various security measures including the latest in security technology, all designed to ensure the security, integrity and confidentiality of customer information.
128-Bit SSL Security Whether you are registering, placing an ad or paying for one of our optional features, your personal information is protected by Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology, the industry standard security protocol for encoding sensitive information. SSL creates a shared digital key, which only lets the sender and the receiver of the transmission scramble or unscramble information. To everyone else, the SSL transmission is indecipherable. Encryption is based on the mathematical scrambling and unscrambling of messages. The type of encryption we use assigns two keys - one is a public key and one is a private key. When you send us a message, you use our public key to encrypt your message. Once we receive your encrypted message, we use the private key to decode it. The same key cannot both encrypt and decrypt information. So, information encrypted using the private key can only be decrypted using the public key, and vice versa- ensuring the security of your information. This technology, together with our other security measures, protects your personal information as it moves from your computer to our server. We constantly monitor and adopt, as appropriate, new technological improvements designed to protect and ensure the accuracy and security of customer information. |
