Privacy and Security Statement

All sensitive information exchanged between your computer and our site is encrypted using SSL. Our SSL Certificate is provided by Comodo. This ensures that your information is transmitted securely and is safe from third parties. Please read on for more information on site encryption.

SITE ENCRYPTION

Istayinn.com utilizes a technology called SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). SSL is a set of rules followed by computers connected to the Internet. Encryption - These rules include encryption, which guards against eavesdropping Data Integrity - Data integrity, which ensures that your communications are not tampered with during transmission and Authentication - authentication, which verifies that the party who receives your communication are who they claim to be.

HOW ENCRYPTION WORKS

The offers and discounts are provided for the promotional purposes and are assumed with greater care by istayinn.com. The discounted deals are created for use and are withdrawn with no prior notice.

Third Parties

There are two levels of encryption: 40-bit and 128-bit. With 40-bit encryption, there are billions of possible keys to decipher the coded information, and only one of them works. Someone intercepting the information would have to find the right key - a nearly impossible task. With 128-bit encryption, there are 300 billion trillion times as many keys as with 40-bit encryption. It is virtually impossible for an unauthorized party to find the right key, even if they are equipped with the best computers.

If you're about to send information to a site that's not using SSL, your browser will warn you first. SSL protects your communications during transmission. Because of the authentication involved, secure servers are slower than the regular server for delivering files. Therefore SSL is only used when transmitting sensitive information across the web.
