The rapid expansion of the Internet and e-commerce has revolutionized the way we do business, but it has also brought with it growing concerns about sending confidential information using this medium. At Cyberbahn, we believe that the protection of privacy and maintenance of a secure environment for our clients is of paramount importance....
The Cyberbahn computer systems, which are used to process your financial transactions, employ strong controls to ensure the security of Consumer information. Access controls, including but not limited to firewalls are used to protect internal systems from unauthorized external access through use of hardware and software from the Internet and our internal computer systems.
Secure Login TOP
For reasons of safety and protection, we require that you log in to secure areas of our website using a ‘User Name’ and ‘Password’. Please keep your password secret as it is used to verify your identity.
At the time of logging in, your browser will be linked to our servers via a secure (SSL) link, thereby ensuring that your ‘User Name’ and ‘Password’ are entered in a secure environment. The Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol allows for confidential transfer of information online and allows you to perform your online transactions safely.
Encryption TOP
Cyberbahn employs high security 128-bit encryption in various areas of our website, including the ‘log in’ and credit card payment processes, allowing you to pass key information to us safely and securely.
Cookies TOP
A cookie is a small file, containing specific user information, which a server sends to your computer’s browser for storage and future reference. These cookies cannot access any files or information stored on your computer, but are used by Cyberbahn to enhance security and navigation. If you wish, you can set up your browser to warn you about the acceptance of cookies. You must, however, set your browser to accept cookies in order to log in to Cyberbahn services, and choosing not to do so will prevent you from using most of the services available on the Cyberbahn website. Cyberbahn also does not believe in using cookies to monitor user data and habits as we feel this is an invasion of privacy and contrary to our privacy policy.
Log Out TOP
Our website contains a ‘Log Out’ link throughout the site, and we recommend that you log off from the website using this link once you have completed your activities. This will effectively and securely end your session and terminate your connection to our server. The Cyberbahn website also has an automatically timed logout feature which provides further protection. This will log you off from the Cyberbahn website if an extended period of inactivity is detected, and is done in order to protect against any unauthorized access to your account and transactions. If a session is terminated automatically, you will have to log in again in order to continue your activities.
While we do our utmost to ensure your privacy and confidentiality, we would also like to mention some steps which can be taken in order to improve your own online security:
Protect your password TOP
Do not disclose your password to any unauthorized person. Saving your password and ‘log in’ information, while being convenient, is risky because it allows anyone with access to your computer to access your account and transactions at the same time.
Anti-Virus Software TOP
It is important to install anti-virus software as your computer may be prone to infection via downloads, e-mail or shared disks. Viruses are constantly changing and being updated and it is important to maintain the latest available anti-virus software to protect your system from possible infection.
Browser updates TOP
It is highly advisable to use a browser that maintains 128-bit encryption. This will ensure that any information being passed online is scrambled during the transmission process.
Firewall TOP
A firewall will allow you to control and allow connections only to websites which you designate as trusted. It will also make it more difficult for an unauthorized person to gain access to information and files stored on your computer.
