Service is accessed using Internet Explorer version 6.0 or later, Firefox version
2.0 or later, or Safari version 3.0 or later, Secure Socket Layer ("SSL") technology
protects User Data using both server authentication and data encryption. The chat
content in Comm100 Live Chat can be encrypted with SSL if the User chooses to use
SSL. These technologies help ensure that User Data is safe, secure, and only available
to the User to whom the information belongs and those to whom the User has granted
access. Comm100 also implements an advanced security method based on dynamic data
and encoded session identifications, and the Company hosts its Web sites in a secure
server environment that uses firewalls and other advanced technology to prevent
interference or access from outside intruders.
