Residential First Lending uses the following hardware and software to safeguard your privacy:

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) Technology.

SSL technology is designed so that no one will see your personal information except you and Residential First Lending. When your data is transmitted, SSL encrypts it, translating it into a string of illegible characters that only the proper recipient will be able to decode.

SSL also checks the identity of both the computer sending and the computer receiving your personal information. This keeps unauthorized people and organizations from intercepting data, and from sending false information about you. This process is called authentication.

This level of SSL Technology protects your communication with Residential First Lending. When we send your information out to our network of lenders, we use the same SSL technology, but with minimum 128-Bit Encryption. This is a virtually indecipherable code that keeps your data unreadable to anyone who might intercept it.

Residential First Lending SSL Technology is certified by Verisign, the Web's leading "Seal of Approval" for online authentication services. This is designed so that Residential First Lending security systems conform to the highest standards available.

Firewall Protection.

Your financial information is not kept on our web server, but on a different computer that is separated from the Internet. Even in the unlikely event that our web site is "hacked," your data will still remain securely out of reach.
