VIRUSES
To reduce the likelihood of damage from computer viruses, KNOWANDGO.ORG uses virus protection software on its computer systems and regularly updates the software.

KNOWANDGO.ORG is not responsible for files that may become corrupted as the data travels through the Internet.

 

FORMS


Each electronic form that collects personal information on this site may be used for other purposes.

For secured-data transmission, this site uses the industry standard encryption software, Secure Socket Layer (SSL). The URL in your browser will change to "HTTPS" instead of "HTTP" when this security feature is invoked. Your browser may also display a lock or key symbol on its task bar to indicate invoked secure transmission. If these indicators are not present, any information is susceptible to interception by other parties. Most Internet email communication will not be secure. If you are communicating sensitive information, please consider sending via postal mail.

 

COOKIES


A cookie file is a small text file created by a web site on your computer hard drive that contains unique information the site can use to track such things as passwords, lists of pages you've visited, the date when you last looked at a specific page or to identify your session at a particular web site. A cookie is often used in commercial sites to identify the items selected for a specific shopping cart application. If cookies are used on the web site their use will be clearly marked. While most browsers have an option that allows you to control the use of cookies, their use might provide some features that cannot be used if cookies are turned off. Each application start page where cookies are used will have a specific statement that explains the use of the cookies, what information is being stored and whether the information is deleted or retained for future use when you complete your session.
