II. Security
All order forms on ConnectTo.com utilize a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) or Secure
Electronic Transaction (SET) protocol to provide "secure sessions"
for our visitors. Through the "secure session," information that you
input into a ConnectTo.com order form will be sent and will arrive privately
and unaltered at a ConnectTo server. This security prohibits other companies
