Security of personal data

Utimaco employs both technical methods and also strict company processes to ensure the security of your personal information administered by us. Your data is thoroughly protected against loss, destruction, falsification, manipulation and unauthorised access or publication.

Therefore we cannot ensure that this data may not be accessed by unauthorised third parties. If you want to send us confidential information please do so by post, fax or encrypted e-mail only.

Security of online purchases

We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input. All online communication for software purchases is transmitted via Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software to protect your personal data. We reveal only the last four digits of your credit card numbers when confirming an order. Of course, we transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order processing. It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.

SSL uses a method known as public key authentication in order to provide the confidential link between the server and the client computer. It allows you to establish a strong confidential link between a server and a client. Thus, SSL will ensure that the information that you enter into a form on a website is encrypted and secure. SSL, short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a technology used for transmitting private documents and/or information via the Internet. SSL works by using a private key to encrypt data that's transferred over the SSL connection. Netscape Navigator, Internet Explorer, and most up-to-date Internet browsers support SSL. Each web browser which supports SSL has a visual indication of whether SSL encryption is being used by the web page being viewed. You can tell which mode your browser is in by looking at the toolbar at the bottom of the browser window. If the key is whole, or the padlock is closed, you are in "secure" mode, and the information which was sent to you was protected from being seen by others. The data you submit will be encrypted if the submit link is of the form "https://somedomain.com".
