How Secure Is Information About Me?
The NRC has worked to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input. The NRC maintains security for all personal credit card information and product purchases. Of course, we transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order processing,albeit in encrypted form.
It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your username/password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.
