About HTTPS and SSL
The True North Adventure Sports site uses HTTPS and SSL protocols, providing security for you and your data. Data sent between you and our site browser is transferred using the highest data encryption available in the industry, ensuring a safe browsing experience for all.
What is HTTPS?
Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is a method for sending and receiving information on the internet in a secure way.
With HTTPS enabled, the data that travels between a web browser and a site is encrypted and authenticated, making it much more difficult to intercept. If a site is not secured with HTTPS, data may be intercepted more easily by attackers.
Some of the benefits of HTTPS include:
Security: Your data and your site visitors' data is safe. All data is encrypted, ensuring that it cannot be intercepted or tampered with. This is especially important for websites that handle sensitive information, such as payment information, passwords, or personal data.
Trust: Visitors are more comfortable making purchases or sharing their personal information when they see your site is secure.
Search results: Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is improved, as Google ranks HTTPS sites more favorably.
Our site is enabled with HTTPS for advanced security protection of your personal data.
What is an SSL certificate?
A Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate is a digital certificate that verifies the identity of a website and allows a site to be viewed securely over a HTTPS connection. It secures the connection between your browser and the web address you’re visiting.
When you visit a website with an SSL certificate, your browser will check the certificate to make sure it's valid. Your browser can then use the certificate to encrypt any information you send to the website.
URLs for websites with SSL certificates usually start with "https", and there is often a lock icon beside the URL in your browser's address bar. Depending on your browser, you may see a settings icon or an "i" instead. Usually, clicking the icon shows you more information on the SSL details.
True North Adventure Sports Site is also equipped with an SSL certificate for optimum security protection.
