Protect Your Privacy
WARNING!
Website visits may not be secure. If you are worried about someone knowing you've visited the SARSSM website, please take a minute to read the warnings and necessary steps to increase your privacy while online.
- E-Mail: If another person has access to your email account, or breaks into it, they may be able to read your incoming and outgoing mail. Make sure you choose a password that others will not be able to guess, and consider changing it frequently. If you must write it down, keep it with you.
If you are the recipient of harassing e-mails, print and save them as evidence of this abuse and speak with an attorney. The messages may constitute an offense.
- Cache file / History / Bookmarks: By reading your computer's cache file (automatically saved web pages and graphics), history (sites you have been to), or cookies, others may be able to see information you have viewed recently on the Internet. Clear your history and empty your cache file in your browser's settings by doing the following:
- Internet Explorer: Pull down the 'Tools' menu (older version may be the 'View' menu), select 'Internet Options.' On the 'General' tab (should be the first one), under 'Temporary Internet Files' , click on 'Delete Cookies' and click on 'Delete Files' (make sure you check 'Delete all offline content'). Under History click on 'Clear History.'
- Netscape Navigator: Pull down the 'Edit' menu, select 'Preferences.' Click on Navigator and choose 'Clear History.' Click on 'Advanced' and then select Cache. Click on 'Clear Disk Cache.'
- Older versions of Netscape Navigator: Pull down the 'Options' menu. Select 'Network Options', select 'Cache.' Click 'Clear Disk Cache.'
- AOL: Pull down the 'Members' menu, select 'Preferences.' Click on the 'WWW' icon. Select 'Advanced.' Select 'Purge Cache.'
- PLEASE NOTE: Even with taking the steps above, your browser's history may not be completely erased. Some browsers or internet programs have features that display recently visited sites. Additionally, there are low-level software applications that can identify where you have been on the Internet. If you are concerned about privacy and do not want another person to see that you've visited the SARSSM website, consider using the Internet at a local library, a friend's house, or at work.
