Privacy and Security Policy

Fepblue.org employs certificate technology for the purposes of receiving encrypted information from this web site. This means that you will be able to browse through the site and receive documents from it and that all of these documents are protected from observation by a third party by encryption. All identifying information is scrambled using the strongest forms of encryption commercially available for use over the World Wide Web. Fepblue.org uses Medium Grade encryption (RC4-56 with a 56-bit secret key).

By accepting certificates you are ensuring that all information you exchange with this site will be encrypted. However, encryption will not protect you from fraud. To protect yourself from fraud, do not send information (especially personal information, credit card numbers, or passwords) to this site if you have any doubt about the site's integrity.

To further protect your privacy, member names and addresses are not transmitted over our site. In addition, fepblue.org does not display members' complete mailing addresses.

In addition, our software instructs your browser not to store or record any information locally on your hard drive. This reduces the risk of any unauthorized viewing of private information on your personal computer.

The online customer service applications can be used by members with the following browser types:

  • Internet Explorer - Versions 8, 7, 6 (Windows)
