Our Security Measures
Our
Websites have security measures in place to protect against the loss,
misuse, and alteration of the information under our control.
Why We Use "Cookies"
When you visit some of our sites, we use cookies to keep track of
your information. This small piece of program code resides on your
computer and stores your contact information for all of our request
information sites. We do this so you are not required to re-enter
your contact information as you move from one site to another.
Links From Our Site To Other Sites
Some of our sites may contain links to other sites external to
our sites. When you access these external Websites, the providers of
the sites will have access to certain information about you. Above
Line Media is not responsible for the privacy practices or the
content of any Websites which we do not directly control.
Definitions
Cookies
Data created by a
Web server that is stored on a user's computer. It provides a way for
the Website to keep track of a user's patterns and preferences and,
with the cooperation of the Web browser, to store them on the user's
own hard disk.
The cookies contain a range of URLs (Web addresses) for which they are valid. When the browser encounters those URLs again, it sends those specific cookies to the Web server. For example, if a user's ID were stored as a cookie, it would save that person from typing in the same information all over again when accessing that service for the second and subsequent time during the same browser session.
You can opt out of the use of cookies by having your browser disable cookies or warn you before accepting a cookie. Look for the cookie options in your browser in the Options or Preferences menu.
IP (Internet Protocol) Address
This
is the address of a computer attached to a TCP/IP network. Every
client and server station must have a unique IP address. Client
workstations have either a permanent address or one that is
dynamically assigned for each dial-up session. IP addresses are
written as four sets of numbers separated by periods; for example,
204.171.64.2.
Browser Session
A browser
session is defined as the period of time a browser is in consecutive
use. The session begins when you open the browser and ends when you
close it. When you reopen the browser, you begin a new session.
SSL Encryption (Secure Sockets
Layer)
The
leading security protocol on the Internet. When an SSL session is
started, the browser sends its public key to the server so that the
server can securely send a secret key to the browser. The browser and
server exchange data via secret key encryption during that session.
We also use SSL encryption whenever we display your personal
information (e.g., name and address, scheduled courses, grades).
URL (Uniform Resource Locator)
An
Internet address. URLs are used to locate sites on the Internet and
to navigate between sites and pages within sites.
