registration forms) is protected against error, loss or unauthorized
access.
Access to www.communityvisa.com/coopatlantic and the personalized version of this site
is controlled by a firewall, among other security measures. A firewall
is a security mechanism that filters attempts to access an Internet in
order to head off any unauthorized attempts or intrusions.
Despite these precautions, you must implement the personal security
measures recommended on this site in order to maintain optimal
protection when you surf the www.communityvisa.com/coopatlantic site, the personalized
version of this site or any other Internet site.

The rules governing our online transactional services reflect the
highest standards of the banking industry and comply with the Act
Respecting the Protection of Personal Information in the Private
Sector.

All transactions conducted as part of our online transactional
services are encrypted during secure-environment sessions to protect
the confidentiality of data exchanged between the Community Card
Services mainframe
and the browser used with your computer or wireless device. That's why services are only accessible if you use a
Web browser that supports the SSL2, 128-bit protocol.
SSL is an acronym that refers to Secure Sockets Layer, the protocol
that permits authentication and data encryption between a Web server
and browser. It provides a secure channel for the exchange of data
that can only be decoded by authorized persons.

I- General precautions
Security icon
Be sure you always surf in a secure environment when transmitting
confidential data. When you don't see a security icon (closed padlock)
displayed on your PC or wireless device (if the latter offers this
functionality), or when you notice an open padlock, this means the
security of any Internet transaction or data transmission cannot be
guaranteed and could be intercepted by a third party.
e-mail
- The messages you send via e-mail or to the Contact Us section of the
Web site are not, generally speaking, secured during transmission. It
is therefore important not to include any personal or confidential
information in such messages.
- The e-mails you receive can be opened and read by others if you fail
to take necessary precautions. To avoid this, obtain a customized
e-mail address linked to a message inbox that can only be accessed
with a password or by you alone.
If you are part of a group sharing the same e-mail address (e.g.,
members of the same family), contact your e-mail services provider to
inquire about setting up individual inboxes with separate passwords. A
number of service providers offer this option.
