Securing the Transmission and Storage of Information - We treat the information
you provide to us as confidential information; it is, accordingly, subject to
our company's security procedures and policies regarding protection and use of
confidential information. When we ask you for credit card data, it is
transferred over a Secured Sockets Layer (SSL) line, provided you are using a
SSL enabled browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator.
We also use SSL on other select pages where you would enter personally
identifiable information. This ensures that your information is encrypted as it
travels over the Internet. This secure mode is enabled before any such
information is transmitted from your computer. You will know you are in secure
mode when the padlock or key icon in the lower right-hand or left-hand corner of
the computer screen appears in the locked position. In addition, when accessing
a secure server, the first characters of the site address will change from
"http" to "https."
After information reaches JRWalk.org, it is stored on a secure server that
resides behind firewalls designed to block unauthorized access from outside.
Because laws applicable to personal information vary by country,
our business operations may put in place additional measures that vary depending
on the applicable legal requirements. Information collected on this site and covered
by this privacy statement is generally processed and stored in the United States.
