Information We Collect

We use SSL for the online contact forms, which ensures that all communications between you and our mail server will be encrypted (https:// instead of https:// in the address bar of contact forms). Your message contents will be hidden from prying eyes and encryption helps mitigate identity theft, the sending of false messages, etc. However, since the form messages are transmitted over the Internet, SDFC cannot assure that the messages are completely secure.
