Security Statement
|
Williams & Fudge understands that the security of your personal and account information is important to you. We also understand that our continued success as a collections agency relies on both our ability to offer services to you in a secure manner as well as your responsibility in keeping any access codes and passwords secure. To assist us in offering these Web-based services in a secure manner, we employ a number of measures which are described below. These measures allow us, among other benefits, to properly authenticate your identity when you access these services and protect your information as it traverses the Internet between your PC and Williams & Fudge.
Many of the services we provide on this Web site utilize access codes (e.g., ID and password).
To further protect you, a timeout feature is often used. This feature will automatically log you out of your current service session after an extended period of inactivity on our site.
Williams & Fudge also requires the use of secure browsers to protect you while you access our client services area or payment forms. More specifically, the personal and account information that flow back and forth between your PC and Williams & Fudge must be encrypted while in transit - secure browsers are how we achieve this level of protection. Encryption is the process of scrambling information (typically for data transmission) so that it can only be reassembled in its original clear text format by someone who has the correct encryption key to do so. When used between you and Williams & Fudge, this technology encrypts your personal information as you send it to us, which only Williams & Fudge can decrypt. Likewise, when we send personal or account information to you, this technology encrypts it, which then only you can decrypt.
System and application activity logs are another mechanism Williams & Fudge uses to protect our systems and your information. These logs are reviewed regularly and any anomalies or discrepancies are investigated thoroughly.
