Data Security
GEO takes security very seriously and has therefore taken every precaution to secure our customers' information. In order to secure the users information, GEO has implemented several security measures to prevent loss, theft, or misuse of any borrower data. When borrowers use features on the GEO website that involves the transferring of personal information, GEO requires that a secure connection first be established using 128-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. During a secure SSL session, data passed back and forth between the user's computer and GEO's servers is secured through the use of public key cryptography. The user's computer exchanges key information with GEO's computers to create a private conversation that only the user's computer and GEO's systems may understand. The U.S. government regulates 128-bit encryption; it can only be used by citizens and permanent residents of the United States and Canada. To benefit from this security and to use many of the features on the GEO site you will need to download a 128-bit enabled browser from Apple, Firefox, Microsoft, Netscape, or another software company.
In addition to using 128-bit encryption in the browser, all credit card numbers that are stored in GEO's databases are encrypted.
Each time you enter a secure connection while using the GEO website your browser will notify you, unless the feature has been turned off. Please note that if you have left a secure connection all data sent to GEO is over an unsecure connection. When a user sends e-mail messages to GEO, the return address may be used to respond to the inquiry. The content and address contained in the message will be permanently recorded so that it can be referenced in future communications between the borrower and GEO. Email is not a secure means of transmitting information.
