The Services may enable Users to transmit, store, and receive Confidential Information and may allow Users to transmit store and receive the Confidential Information of other third parties.

5. Secured Transmissions
The System Services employ encryption to reduce the probability of an unauthorized interception of Confidential Information transmitted using the Services. We use industry standard encryption technology (e.g. 3.0 Secure Socket Layer protocol with 128-bit public key encryption technology) in arranging for the transmission of Confidential Information. You must use a browser that supports this encryption technology in order to access the Services. It is Your responsibility not to send Confidential Information to any recipient to whom transmission of such information will violate applicable law or otherwise be inappropriate.
