Site Security Policy

you, so we've taken a many steps to enhance the protection of personal or confidential
information. First, we only list credit card offers on this site that link to Secure
(SSL Encrypted) Credit Card Applications.
About Secure SSL Technology
Secure SSL
technology encodes information as it is being sent over the Internet between your
computer and the credit card application, ensuring that the transmitted information
remains confidential.
The use of SSL requires two components: an SSL-compatible browser and a Web server
to perform the "key-exchange" that establishes a secure connection to credit card
application web server systems. The technological requirements needed to benefit
from SSL Technology:
1. A Compliant Browser
You will need a browser with SSL capabilities.
Examples of SSL browsers include Netscape 2.0 and above, Microsoft's Internet Explorer
2.0 and above, and the Web browser for America Online version 3.0 for Windows and
above. (Note that some older versions of browsers will not support SSL sessions).
In order to securely access your personal or confidential information via the Internet,
we recommend you use the latest browser versions available. Accessing secure online
areas with Netscape versions before 1.12 (Mac or Unix) or 1.22 (Windows) is prohibited
due to security concerns.
2. A Compliant Internet Service Provider
Nearly all Internet
Service Providers (ISPs) automatically enable the SSL session described above. If
you use your company's internal connection to access the Internet and you find you
cannot access the secure application pages with an SSL browser described above,
your company may be blocking access via a "firewall." Please speak to your firm's
Internet access systems administrator for further details on your network's Internet
access.
3. Enabled Cookies
You also must have enabled cookies on your browser in
order to access confidential information. If you have chosen to disable cookies
on your browser, you will not be able to access confidential information. In order
to bring you the many online products and services offered by Consumer-Credit-Cards.com, we
work with carefully selected vendors and business partners. If we have to share
any information with these companies in order to provide a product or service to
you, we first conduct a careful evaluation of their information and security systems
and practices to ensure the security and confidentiality of your information. You
should be aware that other Internet sites that you link to from Consumer-Credit-Cards.com
