Security Policy

Burroughs & Chapin is committed to maintaining the confidentiality and security of our customers information in ALL transactions.

The Internet, by its very nature and design, is an open system that does not automatically provide a secure means of sending and receiving information. For example the confidentiality of personal information you disclose via e-mail can not be guaranteed. Therefore, we recommend against sending any personal information to us in e-mail.

However, to protect information used in Internet financial transactions (credit card information, bank account numbers, etc.), Burroughs & Chapin uses the following information security techniques and procedures:

• Information is exchanged via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) that uses 512-bit encryption.
• Information requests must pass through multiple hardware and software security firewalls.
• Burroughs & Chapin utilizes Verisign’s Secure Site services for applications that process financial transactions.

Burroughs & Chapin is subject to internal audits and continually strives to improve its systems and procedures based on audit recommendations.
