Do we use encryption technology?
Several areas on Newman’s website have been built to handle sensitive or confidential information. These pages utilize an internet method known as Secure Socket Layers (SSL). With SSL, pages are sent to you in an encrypted (scrambled) format and any information you submit to Newman also is encrypted. Encryption is the transformation of data into a form unreadable by anyone who doesn’t have the appropriate decryption key. This method of transferring sensitive data is considered the industry standard for the Internet.

For added security, close your browser completely when you finish using this site. While online, your browser is using part of your computer’s memory. If your browser is left open, it may be possible for someone using your computer to go back and use this memory to access your information. Closing your browser clears this memory. You may also want to consider clearing your browser’s temporary files.

For your security, we highly recommend maintaining an updated browser version that supports SSL. Microsoft Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Apple Safari are five browsers that support these encryption techniques. A solid lock graphic will display when the SSL mode is engaged and the connection is encrypted. If you are not sure if your browser is compatible, check with your service provider.

Newman has taken steps to make all information you provide to us as secure as possible against unauthorized access and use, alteration, and/or loss. This information is kept in Newman’s secure database.
