Commitment to Privacy
The Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation ("DLLR")
has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy.
Security Measures
This site has security measures in place to protect the loss,
misuse, and alteration of the information under our control.
DLLR uses secure servers and Microsoft Internet Information Services
(IIS) servers for electronic commerce transactions. The system
uses a protocol called "Secure Sockets Layer" ("SSL")
which allows private information, such as credit cards and purchase
orders, to remain private when traveling across intranets and
the public internet. SSL also supports authentication to verify
that a client is communicating with an intended server. Encryption
is utilized to prevent data from being understood by an unintended
party, and to insure that date was not altered in transit.
