Security
This website has security measures to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption to protect the transmission of information you submit to us when you use our secure online forms. You are on a secure page when the lock icon on the bottom of web browsers, such as Chrome, Firefox, Netscape Navigator, and Microsoft Internet Explorer, becomes locked, as opposed to unlocked, or open, when you are just surfing. All the information you provide us through these forms is stored securely offline.

We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption to protect sensitive information online and maintain internal policies to protect user information offline. All user information is restricted unless shared with approved Pittsburgh Firefighters IAFF Union 1 vendors and independent contractors. In which case, reasonable measures are taken to assure the confidentiality and privacy of that information. All employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices.
Please note no system is perfectly secure; attacks may come. If you send us an email, you should know that email is not necessarily secure against interception. If your communication includes sensitive information, such as your bank account, charge card, or Social Security number, and you prefer not to use our secure online forms, contact us by telephone rather than by email.
