Q:  What is SSL and how does it protect my privacy?

A: SSL - Secure Sockets Layer is a security standard protocol developed to provide secure communications between a client (you) and the host (our web server). The basic function of SSL is to encrypt the information at your computer and then decipher it when arrives at our web server. The data is intended to be unreadable en route. SSL also provides server and client authentication so that their identities are verified.

In order to protect the privacy of your Partner and Contribution information we have acquired a Secure Socket Layer Certification.

SSL Server Certificates are installed on our web servers giving you the ability to communicate securely with your information on our site.  SSL protects all communications with your sensitive organization information, and ensures that foreign hackers do not detect your passwords. SSL security makes eavesdropping on your web traffic almost impossible.
