SECURITY STATEMENT

Application information on the Griffith University Village web site is secured using a GeoTrust Digital Certificate; all payment data is secured through Verisign. This ensures that all payment and other information you send to us via the Internet will be encrypted. If any other user intercepts the communication, they will only be able to view an encrypted form. This makes it almost impossible to be intercepted by an unauthorised party, as long as your browser supports the use of encrypted data transmissions.

You will know you are in a secure environment when making a payment on the web site. Firstly, the appearance of a security notice when you enter a secure page (depending on browser security settings). Also, a secure icon will appear on your browser. For Microsoft Internet Explorer, a lock icon and Netscape it is a key icon.

A Secure site can also be identified by its address. For example, when you go to the Griffith University Village application form you will notice that the address starts with 'https://', while most pages begin with 'http://'.
