Learn more about the security measures present on this site. The Martin Companies recognizes that the security of user information is of the utmost importance, and takes considerable steps to insure its safety and privacy. This information is provided to help explain how user information is protected.
Assurance
Martin Connection uses a secure, industry-standard method of protecting information while it's in motion. The underlying technology, known as Transport Layer Security (TLS), is a successor to Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. Like its predecessor, TLS is a digital trust system — a method of public and private key encryption, decryption and verification. This means that whatever is shared with Martin Connection, especially sensitive details (e.g., login, payment, personal account information), safely traverses computer networks, including public ones like the internet.
Recognition
Some internet browsers display a lock symbol as a visual indication of a private or secure connection. While a symbol like this may appear in your browser while a TLS-protected connection is in use, the indication may differ to a degree in each browser (e.g., Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari).
Realism
While not impenetrable, breaking the privacy of a TLS-protected “conversation” isn't a trivial exercise, and it's usually an impractical one for robust TLS implementations. Consequently, browsing with TLS offers a much greater assurance of privacy than other activities widely-accepted as safe or routine (e.g., sharing personal or payment details over the phone, handing a credit card to a store clerk, or writing a check at a grocery store).
