Security policy

Scope

The RD-Reports.com domain and sub-domains are operated by Science-Metrix Inc., an organization that specializes in science and technology (S&T) and research and development (R&D) evaluation and measurement. Science-Metrix is the only operator of this website. For the purpose of this Security Policy, references to RD-Reports.com and to R&D Reports™ are meant to include Science-Metrix Inc. as well.

The security practices set forth in this Security Policy pertain only to the exchange of information between your computer and the www.RD-Reports.com website, but do not apply to information that may be exchanged by other means.

Purpose

R&D Reports is committed to protect your security. R&D Reports knows you care how information about you is transmitted over the internet, and we appreciate your trust that we'll do so carefully and sensibly.

R&D Reports has established this Security Policy to explain to you how your information is transmitted over the Internet as part of the normal operation of this website. Please carefully review this policy so you understand our communication security practices. We encourage you to read this Security Policy before you transmit and receive any personal information to/from this website. If you do not agree please do not use or access our website.

By visiting RD-Reports.com you agree to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Security Policy, as modified from time to time by us.

Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Data Encryption

R&D Reports is committed to the secure exchange of your personal information between your computer and our web servers as well as the secure storage of these data while on our servers. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. For example, everything submitted to us is encrypted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL). This encryption method is used widely on the Internet to keep information secure. We currently use the following security measures to safeguard your personal information:

• When you use secure areas of the site, we use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol with 128-bit encryption (or 256-bit encryption if your browser supports it). This means that all the information sent between your computer and our secure computer environment is encrypted or scrambled so that no one can read it in transit. There are two cues to show you that you are using a secure area. First, the website address (or URL) appears as https:// (instead of just http://) - the "s" is for "secure." Second, a lock or key indicator appears in the status bar of your web browser.
• Secure areas of the site have a time-out feature. If you leave your secure session inactive for some time, it times-out to prevent unauthorized access.

Encryption

We encode every transaction using 128-bit encryption up to 256-bit encryption. The customer's information is encrypted before it leaves their computer, throughout the transaction, and as it is stored in our database.

Although we use advanced encryption (such as 128-bit and 256-bit keys), we cannot guarantee the security of the information you transmit to us. While our website is secure, the Internet is not.
