Encryption
Withum Wealth Management uses encryption technology to protect certain information sent over the Internet. TLS is an encryption technology known as “Transport Layer Security” and its predecessor, SSL “Secure Sockets Layer”. Withum Wealth Management utilizes TLS when the other party can support it. The purpose of encryption is to support the confidentiality of the transmission between the parties and verify the website server. In situations where the other party does not yet support TLS, SSL is utilized. An “s” after the “http” in a website’s address indicates that you are attached to a secure server. Additionally, if your browser is Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0, Mozilla Firefox 3.0, Apple Safari 4.0, or a higher version, a picture of a lock or a key should appear to indicate you are visiting a secure site.
Client Authentication
Your Withum Wealth Management password is your private entry key into your account. This is how Withum Wealth Management’s website recognizes you. You should never share it with anyone. Your Withum Wealth Management issued password incorporates letters AND numbers. You may change your password but we recommend that you also incorporate both letters and numbers in your new password.
Cookies
Cookies are used when you choose to access your account statements online. Cookies are used to maintain data related to you during navigation, such as saving your settings across multiple visits.
Website Usage
After you have finished accessing your Withum Wealth Management account, do not forget to log off. This prevents someone else from accessing your account if you leave your computer and your session has not “timed out,” or automatically shut down.
To Further Protect Your Privacy
While exploring Withum Wealth Management’s website, please be aware that other internet sites accessible from Withum Wealth Management’s website, have separate privacy and data collection policies and practices, which are independent of and may be different from Withum Wealth Management’s policies and practices.
