For a secure website experience

​​​​​​Our rigorous security procedures ensure that your computer is protected when you visit our website:

Secure section indicator

An icon appears in the upper right corner of the pages in the secure section of our website. This indicator shows you at a glance whether you're in a secure section.

What is a "secure section?"

The secure sections of our website are protected by the SSL protocol. When you send us confidential information over the Internet, such as your name, address or password, this protocol is used to make sure the information stays confidential and isn't altered in any way. Since the information is encrypted, no one can read it as it travels between your browser and our site. We also use Firewalls so that information sent over the Internet has to pass through a number of safety checkpoints between your computer and our systems. This prevents unauthorized access to our information systems.

To benefit from the security offered by the SSL protocol, you need to use a 128-bit encryption browser, such as versions listed below in the Browser versions section. Please note that the Representative's virtual office (Webi) isn't Macintosh compatible.
