Customer Data Security Policy
I really like the easy-to-read-and-understand customer data security policy from ING Direct here.
I wish more companies wrote such simple and clear policies.
Here’s an exerpt:
We take every reasonable precaution to protect your information. When you submit information to us through our web site, your information is protected both on-line and off-line. All data transferred to/from the ING DIRECT internal network, from/to an external entity, is encrypted to industry standards (128 bit encryption).
