Website
Heartland
Floats protects information both online and off-line. The
transmission of information, including any payment information,
is encrypted and protected using 128 Bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
Stored
customer information is kept in a secure environment where
access is restricted to employees who need the information to
perform a specific job (for example billing administration or
the development team). Employees are required to keep their computers
up-to-date.
We employ state-of-the-art data encryption to ensure safe and
secure transactions to our site.
Your computer and ours agree to transpose whatever we are
sending into an unintelligible "hash" of characters, using a
technology called SSL. For example:

Without the information on your computer or ours, no one can
understand our encrypted communication.
For your safety, please expect anyone who communicates
confidential information with you on the Internet to use
encryption, the way we do.

What
is SSL?
Secure Sockets Layer, or SSL, is the security technology for
encrypting a link between a web server and a browser. All data
passed between our web server and your browser remains private
and secure.
Whenever you communicate with us, a small
padlock appears in the address bar of your
browser as a sign that we are now engaging SSL. (Another sign on
some browsers is that when you enter the secure area of the
site, the background of the address bar turns dark yellow or
bright green. You'll also notice that http:// is replaced by
https:// (The 's' stands for 'Secure').
To
generate an encrypted SSL transmission, a web server requires an
SSL Certificate. Checking a website's certificate is good
practice that helps you avoid spoof websites, sometimes called "phishing"
sites. To check the certificate, click on the padlock. Your
browser will show you the name of the owner of the certificate.
This name should match the name of the website operator.
Our SSL certificates are issued by a leading certificate
authority, Comodo CA. Comodo is Web Trust-compliant, meaning
that their business practices and processes have been rigorously
audited according to AICPA (American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants) guidelines by an independent approved
auditor (Ernst & Young).
Comodo High Assurance certificates enable a high level of
encryption. They also confirm that a company is a legally
accountable organization.
To receive a High Assurance SSL Certificate from Comodo, we had
to demonstrate to them that we are an existing business, along
with our control over the domain you are visiting. When you shop
online, you deserve to be know who you are interacting with.
Seeing a site with a High Assurance SSL Certificate, confirms
two essential factors:
