Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
If you make a donation, you will be directed to https://my.fpmt.org/donate/rootinstitute, the FPMT website which uses a secure credit card gateway for credit card processing using 128-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption to protect your personal credit information, including your credit card number, before it travels over the internet. SSL technology is the industry standard for secure online transactions.
When you use secure pages, an icon of either a solid key or a locked padlock will appear next to the location bar of your browser window. This icon insures that your transaction session is secured through SSL.
