Surveys
From time-to-time this web site will request information from its users via surveys. Participation in these

Security
This web site has built-in precautions to protect its users' information. When users submit sensitive
information via the web site, the information is protected both online and off-line.
All Advisen systems are behind a firewall with specific ports authorized for access to all machines. Web
servers are authorized from the Internet in general. Other machines such as database servers, application
servers, and file servers explicitly allow access only from specific source addresses.
The users' information is encrypted in 128 encryption and protected with the best encryption software in the
industry, SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). Access to the production web servers is provided by an industry
standard key mechanism from Vesisign. SSH2 (Secure Shell 2) has access only to back end machines.
Telnet access is NOT allowed.
While in a secure page on this Web site, such as Project Template, the lock icon on the bottom of Web
browsers ( e.g., Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer) becomes locked, unlike when the user
is just 'surfing' where the lock icon is un-locked, or open. To learn more about SSL, follow this link:
http://www.openssl.org
While Advisen uses SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, it also does everything in its
power to protect user-information off-line. All of its uses are restricted to Advisen's offices. Only Advisen
employees who need the information to perform a specific job, like customer service, are granted access to
personally identifiable information. ALL Advisen employees are kept up-to-date on current security and
privacy practices, and are well aware of the importance of user privacy. Additionally, Advisen servers storing
personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment, where only authorized personnel have
access. If there are any questions or concerns about the security of this web site, please send an email to
[email protected].
