Security
is a priority at PNC Global Investment Servicing. We are committed to protecting the
security and confidentiality of customer information. We
use a combination of state-of-the-art technology and methods
to help to protect the security of your online
session.
- Internet Security Measures:
Any sensitive personal information that you send through to our web
site is held in a secured environment, protected by tools
such as firewalls and/or database field encryption.
Please do not send any sensitive or personal information
over e-mail.
- Protect Yourself from Fraudulent Web Sites:
Personal
information shared over the Internet can be used to commit
fraud. One common method is for thieves to create a
web site using a name that is similar to that of a reputable
business, for instance by using a common misspelling of the
company's name. The intent is to lure you into
clicking onto the copycat web site and giving your personal
information, including your account number and
password. We caution you to make sure of whom you are
dealing with over the Internet and to understand what will
be done with your information. Always check that you
have typed the correct web site address before entering
personal information onto a site. For more detail on
steps you can take to protect yourself, we suggest that you
review guidelines provided by the
FDIC.
PNC Global Investment Servicing’s standards
are among the highest on the Internet. For accessing
our secure applications, PNC Global Investment Servicing requires that your browser
support SSL and 128-bit encryption.
PNC Global Investment Servicing uses firewalls
to help limit entry by anyone without proper
authorization. A firewall is a security mechanism that
regulates the data going in and out of a network. It
is a commonly used, specialized computer, which acts as a
shield against data going in or out of a network. It
checks to make sure that communications only occur between
approved individuals and that the communication is in the
proper protocol.
To ensure your
privacy, we recommend that you clear the Internet browser’s
cache and history after visiting any PNC Global Investment Servicing web site. Internet
browsing software, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer and
Netscape, stores or "caches" content of web sites visited
during online sessions to display pages previously viewed
more quickly. Additionally, the Internet browser’s
history list tracks web site addresses you visit.
Clearing your browser’s cache and history ensures that other
people using the computer (particularly public computers) do
not have access to your session information.

PNC Global Investment Servicing does not guarantee the products or services offered on third party
sites. You should review the privacy statement of a web
site before you provide personal or confidential
information. No representation is made, however,
regarding the unconditional security of such
submissions. |
