How
it works
When you click on the link that
takes you to a secure form, you make a secure connection directly
to the server hosting our website. This link between
our server and your computer is verified and any information
you send via our form will be protected from interception.
The technology used is Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) with a Server
Certificate.
How
to tell if you have a secure connection
Your browser will tell you that
you are making a secure connection. You may see
a message in a pop-up window, or a broken key icon on your
browser bar will change to an unbroken key, or some browsers
will show an unlocked padlock for an insecure connection and
a locked padlock for a secure connection. Every browser
has its own way of telling you that a secure connection has
been established.
Why
we offer this option
Typically this sort of connection
is used to send credit card information. We believe
your personal information is important and should be protected,
so that is why the Railroad Retirement Board is using this
technology.
Why
we can't reply via e-mail
E-mail is not secure. You
are contacting us through secure messaging. We have
no way to contact you back with a secure message. If
we can identify you and have your telephone number or address
in our records, we will furnish any personal information by
telephone or letter. This helps to ensure we do not send your
personal information to someone asking for it without your
knowledge.
