Security
All order forms on Tcastcom.com utilize a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) or Secure
Electronic Transaction (SET) protocol to provide "secure sessions"
for our visitors. Through the "secure session," information that you
input into a tcastcom.com order form will be sent and will arrive privately
and unaltered at a TCAST Commuincations, Inc. server. This security prohibits
other companies and Web users from being able to access your information.
