H.        Glossary

Cookie: A tiny file that your browser stores in your computer. There are two types: temporary session cookies last only as long as your browser is running; persistent cookies (which take up little space) are stored on your hard drive and may expire after some period of time.

Encryption: Encryption technology allows secure transmittal of information along the Internet. The sender encodes the data by scrambling it before sending it. The receiver must decode the data with the correct "decoder" in order to read and use it. The transmission would look like nonsense text and would be unusable without a corresponding "decoder". Encryption technology can be used for a host of applications, including electronic commerce, email messages and other sensitive documents.

SSL (Secure Socket Layer): : A communications protocol using encryption services to scramble data sent over the Internet. Thus, only the intended recipient can unscramble it. To determine whether this service is activated, look for a lock or a key on the bottom line of the screen in Netscape or Microsoft Explorer. If the lock is closed (or the key unbroken), SSL is active and the information being exchanged is secure. If the lock is open, the information being exchanged is not protected by SSL.

URL (Universal Resource Locator): A URL is the address at which a Web page is located. A formal URL can be quite long and difficult to remember. Most Web sites provide a name, such as www.ARTPayroll.com for the corporate Web site of American Resiudals & Talent. This name is commonly referred to as the URL

I.          Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

 

How do you secure my company's product information and other confidential information I may enter on your website?

The product information displayed on this site and other personal or confidential information you submit via the website are secured using an Encryption service supported by the SSL communications protocol. A closed lock (or in some cases an unbroken key) at the bottom of the screen in Netscape or Microsoft Explorer will indicate that this data protection service is activated. This applies to all pages for ARTpayroll including the logon page. Within the company, only authorized associates have access to this information.

 

What kind of information do you gather about me when I visit your site?

Every time your browser requests a page from a Web site, it sends the server the following information:

  • your current Internet address (usually a temporary address assigned dynamically by your Internet service provider when you log in),
  • the URL of the page you are currently viewing,
  • the URL of the page your browser is requesting,
  • the name and version of your browser.

 

What do you do with information I send you by email?

We read every message that is sent to us at our support@ARTpayroll.com mailbox and forward it to the appropriate area for response. We do not share your email address with any third parties for unsolicited email communications; we use your email address only to respond to your message.

You should always remember that email sent over the Internet may not be either private or secure. If you need to send confidential information and are unsure about a Web site's security, consider communicating it by phone or by regular mail.

 

How can I guard my privacy on the Internet?

Not every Web site takes measures to secure and keep private your confidential information. Look for evidence of such measures as you move from site to site (see encryption service). If you need to send confidential information and are unsure about a Web site's security, you should consider sending it by phone or by regular mail instead.


Email on the Internet is not protected unless you are using a special secure email program. If any organization or individual asks you for confidential information, such as your Social Security number or account number, you should make sure that the organization or individual needs the information in order to conduct business with you and guarantees the security of the information during transmission by using encryption. (See encryption service to find out how you can tell if such a system is active.)

 

Do you use cookies to maintain information about me?

Cookies are used to implement security and convenience features for you. For example, we use a session cookie to make sure that your product information does not remain accessible after the site has been inactive for a period of time. We never pass personal information over the Internet on a cookie unless it is secure.
