Hi
I am making a privacy policy and in that I have to input the following statement:
This website takes every precaution to protect our users’ information. When users submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and off-line.
When our registration form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as information about your health), that information is encrypted and is protected with …...
What is the form information encrypted and protected with?
By default, it isn't encrypted or protected with anything. You'll have to encrypt or protect it with whatever you want to use. It is currently stored as true text in the database.
To be honest, I wouldn't set up any kind of encryption if you don't know how or what it does. There is one way encryption (like MD5) that is considered one way. It creates a hash, and then when a user enters details, you can has their entered detail and compare against the hash in the database.
There are lots of ways to encrypt data, depending on the type of data you want to secure. You will have to do some research and determine the best route for yourself.
