Security measures to prevent misuse of information entrusted to the National University PAIS calculator
The National University PAIS calculator causes the data you input to be encrypted when in route between your browser and the National University PAIS calculator server and when in route between the National University PAIS calculator server and some other browser or server. This practice helps prevent unauthorized third parties from intercepting and gaining access to your private data during transmission over the Internet. The National University PAIS calculator uses 128-bit, Secure Socket Layer encryption supported by Netscape's, Microsoft's, and Mozilla Firefox's browsers. Data residing on the National University PAIS calculator server is password protected, and access is provided only to the account holder who created the password, anyone to whom that account holder entrusted the password, and those employees of Xap who require such access to administer and maintain the National University PAIS calculator system or to provide requested customer support to users of the National University PAIS calculator. Each Xap employee who has access to the data residing on the National University PAIS calculator server has agreed in writing to respect the privacy of all such personal data.
