5. Security
LFO is well aware of the user's concern regarding internet security and we take the issue of protecting your personal information very seriously.
Each member account is protected by password and you are responsible for not sharing your password and take safety precautions to limit the risk of someone else obtaining it, such as signing off after using a shared computer and not saving username and password on login for LearnFinanceOnline.com.
To protect your credit card information, the payment transaction processing has been deferred to a third party which stores any sensitive information on a heavily encrypted database that is protected by multiple government approved firewalls. The information transfer is protected through industry standard SSL 128-bit encryption to prevent other users from "listening in" on the data transfer. In addition it employs several forms of physical security measures for additional protection in the event of a security breach. LFO does not store any credit card information on our servers.
While we have a number of security procedures in place, in the unlikely and unforeseeable event that our servers are illegally compromised, LearnFinanceOnline.com will not be held responsible for any such disclosure of personal information.
