This section is intended to inform you of the security measures
implemented to ensure the protection of the information you transmit
to icriq.com when you order a list through its Web site or when you
modify your company's profil. Here
are answers to some of the questions which concern customers (and
rightly so) who are about to make their first online purchase.
Could someone appropriate my credit card number?
No. Here is why.
First, only icriq.com and Moneris, that will
process your payment, can access the personal information - such as
your credit card number and expiry date - you will transmit on the
icriq.com site. Furthermore, the page on which you will transmit
that information is protected by a secured link. icriq.com servers
use a state-of-the art, 128-bit cryptographic system called
"Secure Socket Layers" (SSL) to encode personal
information transmitted on the Internet. In other words, to read
this information, someone would have to break a code capable of more
than one billion combinations by trying them systematically one
after the other. Thanks to this system, your credit card number and
its expiry date become indecipherable while they travel on the
Internet.
How do I recognize a security link?
As soon as you come upon a secured page, your browser will post a
message advising you that your request is protected and telling you
that the information you are transmitting on the page is coded to
ensure confidentiality. In addition, your browser will post an icon
confirming that the link is secured. If you use Netscape Navigator,
a small blue key will appear in the lower corner of your screen.
Netscape Communicator and Microsoft Explorer use a padlock. Be
careful: a broken key or an open padlock warn of an unsecured link.
Also, when you are on a secured page, a small "s" is added
to the URL address which appears on your browser's bar changing the
usual "http" at the beginning of the address to "https".
On the icriq.com site, only the pages on which you are transmitting
your credit card number are protected by a secured link because they
are the only pages on which you will transmit information that need to
remain confidential.
What personal information does icriq.com require and why?
When you make an online purchase, icriq.com needs to know your name,
the shipping address, your email address, your telephone number and
your credit card number and its expiry date. This information allows
us to process and track orders. No credit card information is saved
by icriq.com's servers.
Does icriq.com use cookies?
Yes. The use of cookies on Web sites has become the rule rather than the exception, and
most browsers are programmed to accept them. Cookies record
visit-related information in a small file stored on your hard drive.
This information is then used by icriq.com to simplify your shopping
and your navigating. Cookies store information related to your
"travels" on our site. They do not have the required
capability to gather other information from your hard drive.
Am I always protected when I click on a super link that takes me
to another site?
icriq.com exercises no control on the operation
of those sites, which have their own protection policies with
respect to personal information. Take the time to become aware of
those policies and remember that icriq.com will accept no
responsibility for the security of information you may transmit on
those sites. Even though icriq.com takes the utmost care in choosing
its partners, it does not, in offering those links, endorse those
partners or suggest it is in agreement with their products, services
or with the information presented on their sites.How can I be sure that requests to update my
company's profile are really from
the company or an authorized person?
When someone makes a request on line to update your company
profile, an email is automatically sent to the person who has
previously provided us the information on behalf of the company.
Therefore, this person will receive the instructions necessary to
update your file.
Warning
The concerted efforts made by icriq.com to protect the personal
information that travels on or through its Web site do not
absolve users from assuming the risk that the confidentiality of
that information might be broken. Accordingly, icriq.com disclaims
responsibility with respect to damages you may incur as a result of
information exchanges with icriq.com on the Internet. icriq.com reserves the right to transmit personal information if required to
