Your personal information is safe with the Desmoid Tumor Research Foundation

We are concerned about the safety of your personal information you enter on our web site and have all of your transactions protected by powerful Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology. These security standards are supported by 3.0 and later versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator and other popular browsers. SSL encrypts your personal and credit card account information before they travel over the Internet.

What is SSL

Since its introduction in 1994, SSL has been the de facto standard for e-commerce transaction security.
SSL is all about encryption. SSL encrypts data, like credit cards numbers (as well other personally identifiable information), which prevents the "bad guys" from stealing your information for malicious intent.
Your browser encrypts the data and sends to the receiving Web site which will decrypt the message. Your browser alone cannot secure the whole transaction and that's why it's incumbent upon web sites such as dtrf.org to do their part. Additional information on encryption and SSL is available.
