DATA SECURITY
The Forerunners site uses a 256-bit digital certificate. This ensures the confidentiality of your information, and is also used to help confirm that the server you are passing information to is Forerunners's server. If any other internet user intercepts the communication they will only be able to see it in an encrypted form.
When you connect to a secure web server, such as the Forerunners website, you ask that server to authenticate itself. This authentication is quite a complex process involving public keys, private keys and a digital certificate. The certificate tells you that an independent third party has agreed that the server belongs to the company it claims to belong to. Forerunners uses secure socket layer (SSL) encryption for its online commerce forms that are transmitted using the Internet. SSL encrypts web communication, allowing us to protect sensitive personal information. SSL security makes eavesdropping on secure web traffic almost impossible.
Our SSL certificate is compatible with all recent browsers including Microsoft Internet Explorer, FireFox, Google Chrome,and Apple Safari.
THIRD PARTY RELATIONSHIPS
Visitors should be aware that the Forerunners website may include links to websites operated by other agencies, non-profit organizations and private businesses. When you link to another site, this Privacy Statement will not apply, however, you may be subject to the Privacy Policy of that new site, if one exists. Forerunners is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of external websites. The existence of such links should not be construed as an endorsement by Forerunners.
We use Paypal CA Limited to process credit card orders. We supply them with data for credit card authorization and fraud detection only and they are restricted from using the data for any other purposes.
