Security

PCIA takes precautions to protect your information.  When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.

Whenever we collect sensitive information, that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way.  You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser or by looking for "https" at the beginning of the address of the web page.

While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline.  Only PCIA members who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information.  The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

Our Privacy Policy may change from time to time and all updates will be posted on the website.
