AIG American General has implemented security measures to prevent the unauthorized release of or access to personally identifiable information collected through this site. For example, we have set up technical security measures such as browser encryption, routers and firewalls to safeguard personal and financial information against unauthorized access. Our servers are located in the United States of America.
A filtering router verifies the source and destination of each network packet and determines whether or not to let the packet through. Access is denied if the packet is not directed at a specific, available service. A firewall is used to shield information from the Internet. All incoming traffic is addressed to the firewall, which only allows e-mail into the Member service environment. Traffic through the firewall is subjected to a special proxy process which operates in much the same way as a filtering router, verifying the source and destination of each packet. The proxy then changes the IP address of the packet to deliver it to the appropriate site within the internal network. In this way, all inside addresses are protected from outside access.
We use secure socket layer (SSL) encryption technology for browser contact. SSL protects information as it crosses the Internet. You can tell if you are visiting a secure area by looking at the padlock symbol at the bottom of your browser screen. If it is "locked," you have a secure session. Presently, e-mail responses to your inquiries are not encrypted. There is also a danger that others may have access to your e-mail through your computer system.
