DealerCentric Security Statement

    DealerCentric recognizes that preserving the integrity of your personal and account information is critical. We also realize that offering our Web-based services to you in a secure environment is fundamental to our continued success. In order to accomplish this, we employ several devices that enable us, among other benefits, to authenticate your identity when you access our services and safeguard your information as it traverses the Internet between your PC and DealerCentric.

    DealerCentric requires the use of secure browsers to protect your privacy while accessing our online financial services. Specifically, the personal and account data that is conveyed between your PC and DealerCentric must be encrypted during transmission - secure browsers are effective tools used to achieve and maintain this level of protection. Encryption is the process of scrambling information (typically for data transmission) so it can only be reconfigured in its original format by someone with access to the appropriate encryption key. In this instance, your personal information will be encrypted during its transmission to us, and only DealerCentric will have the ability to decrypt it.

    DealerCentric uses Secure Socket Layer 3.0 to ensure you are accessing the actual DealerCentric.com server and not an imitation. Our server sends DealerCentric.com's public key to your browser program before you log on to our site. Secure Socket Layer enables you to verify the identity of a server by viewing the site's certificate. A certificate is a means of associating a public key to a name. By viewing our certificate on the first page of our online application or login screen through your browser, you can confirm you are logged on to the DealerCentric.com server.

    Once Secure Socket Layer has authenticated the server, your browser and our server will establish a confidential symmetric key. This symmetric key allows the exchange of encrypted data between your browser and our server and, as a precautionary measure, its validation is restricted to a single occurrence. Therefore, if you log out and later choose to log on to DealerCentric.com again, your browser and our server will automatically generate a different symmetric key. By continually changing with every attempt to log on to our site, the symmetric key will ensure all of your communications with DealerCentric.com are preserved intact.
