Is the ePledge system secure?
Yes. The system uses the most current encryption tools to provide a safe and secure environment for participants and donors. All transactions and data are captured and stored in a secure environment. Industry standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption certificates are used. The ePledge site displays the GeoTrust Quick SSL Premium seal that confirms the transaction is secure and displays a real-time date/time stamp on it. The timestamp is for Greenwich Mean Time or GMT. Electronic tax receipts are secured with either a random 40-bit or 128-bit encryption code ensuring their authenticity while at the same time, meeting all government standards. While pdf documents sent through ePledge can be printed, they are tamper proof. In addition, all online transactions are conducted using the HTTPS protocol – the same standards used by most major financial institutions on their online banking applications.
