9. Security

Our web sites take every precaution to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via our web sites, your information is protected both online and off-line.

When our Membership/Order Forms ask you 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 (128-bit). While on a secure page, such as our Membership/Order Forms, 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 you are just "surfing".

While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also take all necessary steps to protect your information off-line. Access to your information is restricted. Only personnel who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, staff sergeants or commanding officers) are granted access to personally identifiable information. All personnel with access to sensitive information require the issuance of a clearance. Our records and servers are kept in a secure environment with regulated access.

If you have any questions about the security at our web sites, you can send an email to Command@MaleCorps.com.
