SSL Policy

Effective Date: December 1, 2024

Haitian Diaspora United (“HDU,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to safeguarding your online interactions by implementing industry-standard security measures, including Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. This SSL Policy outlines how SSL is used to protect your data while you interact with our website.

1. What Is SSL?

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a technology that encrypts the connection between your browser and our website. This encryption ensures that any data transmitted between you and our site remains secure and private.

2. How SSL Protects You

When you visit our website, SSL provides the following protections:

  • Encryption: SSL encrypts data, such as your personal information and payment details, making it unreadable to unauthorized parties.
  • Authentication: SSL verifies our website’s identity, ensuring that you are interacting with a trusted source.
  • Data Integrity: SSL prevents data from being intercepted or altered during transmission.

You can verify that our website is SSL-secured by looking for:

  • A padlock icon in your browser’s address bar.
  • "HTTPS" at the beginning of our website URL.
3. What Data Does SSL Protect?

SSL is applied to all sensitive information you may provide while using our website, including but not limited to:

  • Personal details (name, address, phone number).
  • Payment information for donations or event registrations.
  • Communication through contact forms.
4. SSL Certificate Management

HDU regularly updates and maintains its SSL certificates to ensure continued compliance with security standards.

5. Limitations of SSL

While SSL provides a high level of security, no system can guarantee absolute protection. You can further protect your data by:

  • Ensuring your browser is up-to-date.
  • Avoiding sharing sensitive information on public or unsecured networks.
6. Updates to This SSL Policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes in technology or security standards. Updates will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
