our firm commitment to privacy. The following discloses
our information gathering and dissemination practices
for this web site: www.real.ca
Through the use of our secure server, our site uses an order form for customers to request information, products, and
services. We collect visitor's contact information (like their email address) and financial information (like their Sales
Forecasts). Contact information from the order form is used to send orders and information about our company to our customers.
The customer's contact information is also used to get in touch with the visitor when necessary*. Financial information that
is collected is used to check the users' qualifications for the services we provide.
*Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the choice/opt-out section below.
This site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control.
All transactions which take place on this server use triple-DES (Data Encryption Standard) encryption, a private-key system
which has proven unbreakable since it was first introduced by IBM in the late 1970's. Following is a brief explanation:
DES: A private-key-only (also called single-key or symmetric) encryption method that uses the same secret 56-bit key to encrypt
and later decrypt the message. Being a single-key system, it requires that the secret keys be securely distributed to both
ends of the connection. To help keep DES a secure method of data encryption, the algorithm it uses was designed to be difficult
to implement in software (and therefore runs slowly). This makes software-only methods of breaking DES codes undesirable.
A further deterrent to the breaking of DES codes is the restriction of sales involving DES hardware implemented by the U.S.
Government.
(the plaintext is encrypted three times, each time with a different key) is often used to provide better security
than standard DES. Originally developed about 1975 and standardized in 1981 in ANSI X3.92.
