We
are enhancing the security of the Running Room on-line services. Starting
today and over the next week you will see new security upgrades daily. These
upgrades will not affect the performance of the site but serve to protect
your information at a much higher level.

Connection
Encrypted: High-grade Encryption (RC4 128 bit)
The Running Room online services have been upgraded to include even more
security for our event registration, clinic registration systems, personal
login and profile information. You will now notice SSL encryption on many
of our online forms to further protect your privacy.
What is SSL?
Secure Sockets Layer, SSL, is the standard security technology for creating
an encrypted link between a web server and a browser. This link ensures
that all data passed between the web server and browser remains private
and integral. SSL is an industry standard and is used by millions of websites
in the protection of their on-line transactions with their customers.
In order to be able to generate an SSL link, a web server requires an
SSL Certificate.
The Running Room web server establishes an encrypted link between the
website and our customer web browser.
Displaying the SSL Padlock
The complexities of the SSL protocol remain invisible to the customer.
Instead their browser provides them with a key indicator to let them know
they are currently protected by an SSL encrypted session.
The Padlock:
Clicking on the Padlock displays our SSL Certificate
and details.

| Warnings:
|

|
The page you are viewing was encrypted before being
transferred over the internet. Encryption makes it very difficult for
unauthorized people to view information traveling between computers, in
this case your browser and our server. It is therefore very unlikely that
anyone can read this page as it traveled across the network.
|
 |
Once you supply data (login information / registration
information) you will get a warning that a secure page is linking to a
non-secure page. This happens after every form submission so that the
user is taken off of SSL and back to normal web browsing.
Do not be alarmed as this is normal process and all
pages containing data (personal information) remain secure.
