7. PROTECTING YOUR INFORMATION

We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you provide through the website. If transactions are processed on the website, transaction information is transmitted to and from the website in encrypted form using industry standard SSL connections to help protect such information from interception. We restrict authorized access to your personal information to those persons who have a legitimate purpose to know that information and to those persons you have authorized to have access to that information. The OCPD Foundation follows generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once The OCPD Foundation receives it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure.
