Security

The security of EDULINX On-Line Services depends both on EDULINX and you, the user.

EDULINX

EDULINX is committed to providing you with secure on-line services.

EDULINX has taken measures to ensure that your electronic information changes with us are secure and that your privacy is protected.

EDULINX On-Line Services use 128-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption to protect your information. Encryption electronically scrambles the data stream between your computer and our server. This minimizes the risk that Internet hackers and other users will alter or view information being transmitted. You must be using a browser with 128-bit encryption in order to access this site. 128-bit SSL encryption is one of the most secure forms of encryption available in North America.

Note

While every possible effort has been made to ensure the safety and integrity of EDULINX On-Line Services, the Internet exists as a public network and therefore is outside of EDULINX’s control.

The User

As a user of EDULINX On-Line Services, you must fulfill certain responsibilities to contribute to the security of your Prince Edward Island Student Loan information.

  1. Keep your Password a secret! If you believe that your Password has been stolen or compromised, Contact Us immediately.
  2. If you leave your computer on after completing information changes with EDULINX On-Line Services, clear the cache and close and re-open the browser to eliminate copies of Web page(s) that may have been stored on your computer’s hard drive. If you are using Netscape Navigator, clear both your browser’s disk cache and memory cache. If you are using Internet Explorer, clear your disk cache, then close and re-open your browser. For more information, see Technical FAQ.
  3. Never send confidential information such as your Social Insurance Number (SIN) via e-mail. Our e-mail does not have secure transmission capabilities.
