One of our highest priorities is to ensure your privacy and peace of mind by employing some of the most advanced online security in the industry. Every step of the way, we provide you with the state-of-the-art encryption of all data transmitted between your computer and our secure site. Most browsers today utilize an encryption method called Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). SSL is software based security protocol that encodes data before it is transmitted over the Internet. Once you enroll you will be able to use a self-selected user name-password system that serves as our first line of security.

What steps can I take to ensure the security of my account information?
There are several things you can do to protect your Credit Care account:
- Never reveal your User Name and Password to anyone.
- Never write it down where anyone can find it or figure out what it is.
- Change your password frequently within your profile.
- Always sign off before leaving your computer.
- Always sign off before accessing other Web sites.
What is encryption and why do I need it?
Encryption is a security device that keeps information that passes through the Internet private and secure. To maximize protection, Credit Care requires you to use 128-bit encryption. This 128-bit encryption level is 2x1026 more secure than the standard level of 40-bit. You will see the icon of a padlock on the bottom toolbar of your browser that indicates the information being transmitted is protected and encrypted.

What are the sufficient web browser levels to view the website and how can I upgrade?
A web browser is computer software that allows you to view the content and graphics displayed on a website. Credit Care requires the minimal browser levels of Microsoft Internet Explorer (MSIE) 4.0 or Netscape 4.78 to support the 128-bit secure link between your browser and us. You will know if your browser is not sufficient if upon entering a secure site, a note pops up on the screen indicating you should upgrade. We suggest upgrading to the latest versions. To upgrade, please click on one of the following links:
- Microsoft® Internet Explorer
- Netscape Navigator®
What happens if I forget to sign off?
For security reasons, Credit Care becomes disabled after long periods of inactivity, and the system will automatically sign off. If this happens, you will be required to sign on again. We encourage you to use the sign off function for maximum security when you’re finished with the system or you walk away from your computer.
