Encryption
Encryption technology is designed to secure personal and confidential communications between your computer and Laketon servers, such that they are protected from being read by any third parties. This is achieved by "scrambling" communications so that they are unreadable by anyone other than Laketon or yourself. Laketon web applications require 128-bit SSL encryption-the standard for encrypting and safeguarding websites. You can verify that this website is encrypted by looking for the golden lock or key icon (along the bottom of your browser window) which is used by most browsers to indicate a secure connection.
Cookies
"Cookies" are small items of data that websites store in your browser. These data files contain information the site can use to track and organize the pages you have visited, and to gather information. This website uses "cookie" technology to measure site activity and tailor information to fit your personal interests. This helps us deliver a superior website experience that is fast, secure and personalized. Laketon uses only "session" cookies-cookies placed by Laketon are deleted as soon as you close your browser, helping to further protect your privacy and security.
Other security measures
Laketon engages in a number of other security activities to help ensure the safety and privacy of your personal information. This includes adopting measures designed to help secure our computers against hacker attacks and virus activities by a number of different means. We monitor our website, servers and data 24-hours a day to help us immediately identify and rectify any problems.
Security tips you can use
You can also contribute to the security of your information by following a few straightforward principles:
- For websites requiring a password:
- Pick a password that is unique and hard for others to guess. A strong password includes a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters and numbers. Avoid passwords such as family or pet names, birthdays, or words found in dictionaries.
- Memorize your password, and don't tell it to anyone. We will never call or e-mail asking for your password.
- If you think anyone has had access to your password, change it immediately by logging in and clicking the Your Profile tab. From the Your Profile section, follow the simple instructions to change your password.
- If you are using a computer in a public place (such as an Internet café, or an open desk at work), ensure that no one can see you type in your password, log off when you are finished using the site and clear the browser's cache.
- Run current anti-virus software and anti-spyware software on your computer. This helps ensure your computer is free of malicious programs such as viruses, worms and spyware (snooping software that collects and shares confidential information on your computer with a third party without your consent).
- After using an application, clear your browser's cache and then close it. The cache is where a browser keeps copies of the web pages you have recently visited. By deleting it, you help ensure no one else can view these pages, including the next website you visit.
