Security

We try our best to protect Your information from being stolen. All information that is sent to You from the Website is encrypted so that only your web browser and our Server can see it. We encourage You to use one of the modern web browsers where a secure connection (HTTPS) can be clearly indicated.

Secret data such as account login password data is secured so that information remains invisible even if it is accessed. To do that we use a technique of salted hashing combined with other security layers. When your login user name and password are sent to our Server, the information sent through the network is encrypted so that only your web browser and our Server can see it. After a successful login is made, the login and password data is deleted. A secured version of the password described above is kept in safe persistent storage.

While we try to do the best we can, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information sent between You and our Services and vice versa.
