VeggieConnection.com Security

Site

VeggieConnection.com uses the secure HTTPS protocol, meaning all traffic, including logins and messaging, is encrypted for privacy.

• HTTPS encrypts communications so that attackers can't steal your data.
• HTTPS confirms that the website is who it says it is, and not an imposter.
• HTTPS stops multiple kinds of cyber attacks.

Because we use HTTPS, VeggieConnection.com is generally safe to use on a public network (cafe, airport, etc.)

Login Security

Update and management access to your VeggieConnection.com account is controlled by your username and private password.

• Like most modern sites, our password validation uses one-way encryption. Passwords are never stored as clear text. That is, member passwords are not readable by anyone, even our staff, and are protected even in case of a data breach.
• Like most sites, we've implemented Auto-login: When returning to your account on the previously logged in device, you'll be logged in automatically. Therefore, if one has password access to said computer/device, or said computer/device has no password, one has access to your VeggieConnection.com account, unless auto-login is disabled:
• To temporarily disable Auto-login until the next login session, uncheck "Auto-login next time?" on the login page.
• To permanently disable Auto-login, visit your Preferences (top menu Profile Preferences), and set Auto-login to Disable.

E-mails

E-mails you send are visible to recipients only; no other members.

E-mails are stored as clear text, just like Internet e-mails.

Our staff has the ability to read e-mails and may do so in the case of a fraud investigation or other suspected site use violations.

Photos

VeggieConnection.com has three photo galleries:

• Standard Gallery
• Private Gallery
• Credentials Gallery

Images in the Standard Gallery are viewable by all. Images in the Private Gallery and Credentials Gallery are only viewable by members to whom you send a Photo Pass or Credentials Pass respectively.

Visibility

Normally your profile and Standard Gallery images are publicly viewable, just like a Facebook profile, for example.

You may change your visibility to Members-Only or No-one via the top menu Profile Preferences, Privacy/Visibility section.

Payment Security

Payments are managed by external trusted services, Verisign and PayPal. VeggieConnection.com does not store your credit card number but Verisign and PayPal may.
