AboveNY.com Security and Important Documents

Q. Is my account information secure?

Your account information is very secure. AboveNY.com utilizes secure connections (SSL) when customer information is being transmitted through our system. Short for Secure Sockets Layer, SSL works by using a private key to encrypt data that's transferred over the SSL connection. This prevents the data from being "seen" in transit. Only the intended recipient can view the information. Both Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer support SSL, and most Web sites use SSL to obtain confidential user information such as credit card numbers. By convention, Web pages that require an SSL connection start with 'https:' instead of 'http:.' The 's' in 'https' represents the "secure" server location of a given page.
