| What is Encryption / Why is it important to me? |
| To ensure security, we encrypt all information between your PC and GE. Using secured browsers and 128-bit encryption technology, you can be assured security is our number one priority. In fact, 128-bit encryption is one of the highest levels of encryption currently available. |
 |
| 128-bit encryption is the process of scrambling information (typically for data transmission) so that it can only be reassembled in its original clear text format by someone who has the correct encryption key to do so. When used between you and GE, this encryption technology allows you to encode (or encrypt) your personal information as you send it to us, which only GE can decrypt. Likewise, when we send personal or account information to you, this technology allows us to encode it, which then only you can decode. |
 |
| If you are using an older version of an internet browser, it may be necessary for you to update your browser to a 128-bit compliant version. |
