Security Policy

Overview
Some areas of wolfesneckfarm.org, such as any page at which you have the option to purchase a product or service, require that you submit sensitive, personal data to our Web server. Such data might include your name, address, and credit card information. In an effort to safeguard your information against unauthorized viewing and theft, we use an encryption technology known as "SSL", which stands for Secure Socket Layer. An SSL connection is established between your computer and our Web server any time you visit an area of the site at which your personal information will be collected if you voluntarily provide it.

Whenever you direct your Web browser to one of the abovementioned areas, you will notice that a lock icon appears in your browser window (typically in the bottom-right corner), which indicates that any communication between your computer and our Web server is encrypted, and is therefore extremely difficult to intercept. Your personal information is as safe as is reasonably possible while in transit to our Web server.

SSL Certificate Details
Our SSL certificate, which provides the encryption routines for the secure transmission of data from your computer to our Web server (and verifies our Website's identity), is a genuine 128-bit RC4 certificate; in other words, it is strong. Equifax is the certificate's issuer, and is one of the world's foremost providers of SSL certificates for the transmission of sensitive data over the Web.

Our SSL certificate is also a "Shared SSL Certificate", which means that our Web host (the company who manages and maintains the hardware on which this site is hosted) is the owner of the certificate ââ‚“ not Wolfe's Neck Farm. What does this mean for you? Not much, with the exception that you will notice the domain name change when you enter a secure area of our site. A domain name is the last part of a URL/URI (or Web address); our domain name is "wolfesneckfarm.org". When you visit a secure area of our site, the domain name will change to "ixwebhosting.com" (IX Webhosting is our Web host), which is exactly what is supposed to happen. All secure URLs on our Website will start with "https://wolfesneckfarm.ixwebhosting.com/".

By trusting the certificate, you implicitly trust its owner (after all, the very page you are reading is stored on one of our host's computers). If you decide that you do not trust our Web host (www.ixwebhosting.com), then we suggest that you do not purchase anything from this Website. You can view the details of the SSL certificate at any time by double-clicking the lock icon in your browser. The process of obtaining an SSL certificate is thorough and demanding, so you are assured that our host (and therefore the certificate used to encrypt your personal data) has been screened rigorously for proper intent and suitability to conduct business on the Web.

To test our shared SSL certificate and verify its integrity, expiration date, and more, you can visit our homepage in secure mode and inspect the lock icon and certificate for yourself.
