Evaluating Websites: Security

Security

Security on a website can never be 100% guaranteed. But, there are measures that can be taken to make security better.

  • Are security and/or encryption systems visible if you are making a purchase?
  • Does the site ask for personal information? If so, what will they do with the personal information? Check the privacy policy.

Remember also, online Health Searches are NOT Confidential

  • According to a study, 90% of websites provide personal health information to 3rd parties
