What specific measures does e-RegisterNow take to secure my online transactions?
We use several technological tools to provide security on the Web site, including:
· The Secure Socket Layer, which protects the information you transmit and prevents interception by unauthorized parties; and
· Dual firewalls, which restrict unauthorized access to our internal networks where your information is stored.

We also maintain and monitor an audit log, which tracks the use of our security processes and highlights any suspicious activity.

The Secure Socket Layer
The Secure Socket Layer is an industry standard protocol used for communication between your Web browser and the Web server. It provides authentication, data integrity and encryption.

Your browser may give you a message indicating you are entering a secure Web site. You may also see a blue box outlining the secure page. And if you usually see a broken key or open lock in the lower left corner of your screen, you'll notice it change to a full key or closed lock.

You can validate computer server IDs and status at any time by clicking on the Lock or Key in the lower portion of your internet browser.

Authentication
Authentication confirms that you are who you say you are, and verifies that you are communicating with the e-RegisterNow Web server. There are two parts to the authentication process:
· The Secure Socket Layer uses digital certificates to confirm with your Web browser that you are accessing the e-RegisterNow Web server.
· Your Merchant ID and password is confirmed to ensure account information is provided only to the correct Merchant ID and corresponding password. An incorrect Merchant ID or password will result in failure to access account information.

Data integrity
The Secure Socket Layer ensures that any alteration to the contents of your message, either intentional or by accident, will be identified and handled in an appropriate manner.

Encryption
The Secure Socket Layer encrypts or "scrambles" the content of your message as it travels across the Internet, making it difficult for unauthorized interceptors to understand. Encryption codes the information in your message, ensuring that it can only effectively be decoded by the e-RegisterNow Web server.

Firewalls
A firewall is a device, usually consisting of software and/or hardware, which separates computers with sensitive information on an internal network from an external network such as the Internet. Its purpose is to limit the types of traffic that enter the internal network to prevent malicious attacks on internal computers. By using Dual firewalls, e-RegisterNow is ensuring your information is always protected.

What about "cookies"?
Cookies are not used in the process at any time, as no information is stored on the connecting computer.

How is my privacy maintained?
At e-RegisterNow., we are committed to protecting the privacy of your client' data. The information collected on our site remains the sole property of the legal entity, which has entered a three-way Merchant services contract. E-RegisterNow does not sell, trade, or rent any information to others organizations.

How do I know the information provided is kept secure?
Your e-RegisterNow merchant account is not automatically accessible via the Internet. Once you request online access to your account, we request specific information about you and your account to confirm your identity.

We then use several security measures to confirm this information, and only then do we allow online access to your account information.
We promise to protect the information you provide online in the same way we protect all our customer information. We take privacy seriously, as you can see in our privacy commitment.
