The security of your
personal information is our first priority at LendingTree. We have taken
extraordinary measures to make sure that the information you send to us is seen
only by authorized people. (Please review our privacy
policy to find out
more about who is authorized to view your information.)
Secure Web Pages
All of the pages on our web site that ask for
your personal financial information are delivered to your browser through HTTPS,
a secure mode of communication. You can check this encryption by checking
for the key (Netscape) or lock (Internet Explorer) icon on your browser.
Encryption
When you send your personal financial information to
us, it is protected by SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) Technology. SSL does not allow
anyone to intercept and read your personal information. When you send your
information to us, SSL encrypts it (translates the data into a string of
gibberish characters). Only we can decode the encryption.
Firewall Protection
Your financial information is not kept on
our web server, but on a different computer that is separated from the Internet.
Even in the unlikely event that our web site is "hacked," your data will still
remain securely out of reach.
Password Protection
To retrieve information about your loan status, you are required to enter both a password and at least one other piece of identification information.
