Secure Transmissions.This ensures that your information remains confidential. We use encryption technology, such as Secure Socket Layer (SSL), to transmit information between you and us.

Authentication. This ensures that you are communicating with Protect America, and prevents other computers from impersonating us.

Once we receive the information, our computer systems decipher the code back into meaningful information so that we can complete your request. Only Protect America authorized individuals are allowed to access the information.
Data Integrity. This verifies that the information you send to us is not altered during the transfer. The system detects if data was added, deleted, or altered after you sent the message.

Firewalls. This blocks unauthorized access by individuals or networks. Firewalls are one way we protect our computer systems that interact with the Internet.

Credit Approval Process.

basic credit check is required for approval when ordering your security system online or from one of our representatives. In order to protect your identity, Protect America requires your social security number to check your credit through Equifax and in some cases Trans Union. Our security of information policies listed above ensure that your information is safe and secure.

Our online credit check process uses Equifax Decision Power. When you enter your information on Step 2 of the ordering process and click the "Next" button, your encrypted information is transmitted through the Equifax system to review your credit. We recommend entering your information as well as that of your spouse/co-applicant when you are submitting your order.

If your credit is instantly declined, an onscreen message will appear informing you that you are unable to proceed with the online process due to information in your credit report. If you are instantly approved, the system will allow you to proceed with your order and will notify you at the end that your order has been approved. In some cases, the credit decision is not able to be made instantly and needs to be reviewed by a certified credit professional. If that does occur, the system will allow you to proceed and we will inform you that the order is being reviewed. Once a credit decision is made, you will receive an email that will update you on the status of your order.
