First Insight understands how important it is to protect the confidentiality and integrity of our customers' information. We ensure the security, confidentiality and integrity of all paradEyes.com customer information through the following safeguards:
Encryption
All applications and other communications requesting confidential information are set up in a "secure environment" on our site, transmitted to us securely using encryption and maintained in a secure format upon our receipt.
Encryption is the process of converting information into a more secure format for transmission. In other words, the plain text is converted to scrambled code while being transmitted and then decrypted back to plain text at the receiving end of the transmission.
ParadEyes.com uses 40-bit encryption, meaning there are 240 possible keys that could fit into the lock that holds your account information. That means there are many billions of possible keys, preventing unauthorized users from reading your transmissions.
Firewalls
We've incorporated two firewalls and SSL (Secure Socket Layer) security technology to securely separate the Internet from our internal computer systems and databases. We've also built in redundancy systems to keep paradEyes.com functional at all times.
