Q. Who Is OUGPress.com?
A. OUGPress.com is a printing
and publishing company operating as a division of Ventura Product
Commercialization & Rights Management, Ltd., 429 Forbes Avenue,
Suite 1212, Pittsburgh, PA 15219-1616 USA.
|
OUGPress.com was formed by Gregg Zegarelli, an attorney licensed
to practice law in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, District
of Columbia and State of Illinois. OUGPress.com was formed
to publish books of philosophy, religion and inspiration.
|
Q. Do I need an ID and password?
A. It depends upon where you are
in the Website. Some areas require the use of a User-ID
and password to help protect your confidential information and
to authenticate your identity. Again, this is important
for your protection.
|
Q. How does OUGPress.com keep my confidential
information from being “intercepted” during an electronic transaction?
A. OUGPress.com uses a “secure socket
layer”, or “SSL” to transmit you information. This is an
encrypting mechanism to keep your information secure. This
method of securing your data is recognized throughout the world
as protective for sophisticated electronic transactions.
|
Q. What is "SSL" and how does it
help keep my information safe?
A. During a SSL session, your data
is secured by using public key cryptography. Your computer exchanges
key information with OUGPress.com computers to create a private
“conversation” that only your computer and OUGPress.com systems
understand. This is the same technology recognized and used
worldwide for e-commerce transactions. The use of SSL requires
two components: an SSL-compatible browser and a web server to
perform the "key-exchange" that establishes an SSL connection
to OUGPress.com Web server systems
|
Q. What type of website browser do I need?
A. To benefit from SSL technology,
you will need an SSL-compatible browser. Examples of SSL browsers
include Netscape 2.0, Microsoft's Internet Explorer 2.0, and the
Web browser for America Online version 3.0 for Windows. If you
don't already have a browser with SSL capabilities, you can download
an SSL browser from either of the links below.
|
Netscape
Navigator ·
Microsoft's Internet Explorer |
Q. Do I need to do anything special of connection
do I need?
A. Probably not. Nearly all
Internet Service Providers (ISPs) automatically enable the SSL
session, as do most online services such as America Online, CompuServe,
and Prodigy. If you have a compatible browser, then there
should not be anything special that you need to do.
|
Q. How do I know that I am in a “secure”
area?
A. Most popular browsers will have
a “lock” type of symbol at the bottom of the browser screen during
secure periods of Website use, which indicates it is a secure
area, that is a “locked” area. Secure SSL sessions are established
on the Website in various areas for your special protection, including
all My Account areas.
|
Q. I am using a office computer and cannot
access secure areas. Why?
A. If you use your company's internal
connection to access the Internet and you find you can not access
OUGPress.com's secured area with an SSL-compatible browser described
above, your company may be blocking access via a network "firewall".
A “firewall” is a system on your office network that prevents
unauthorized use of the network, but, occasionally, it is also
configured in a manner that affects use of SSL over the network.
Please speak to your firm's systems administrator for further
details on your network's Internet access.
|
Q. Why can I still see
some of my account information even after I am in a “secure” area
of the Website?
A. Browser software often "caches" pages.
This means that some pages are saved locally by your computer.
This can allow much faster back-and-forth viewing, because your
computer does not have to keep re-loading the same information.
Caching does not affect the security of your confidential User-ID
or password. |
Q. What should I do if I am using a "public"
or office computer?
A. If you use an office or other
“public” computer, and if you are uncomfortable that they may
view "cached" pages after you have left the station,
then please quit/exit your browser software before leaving. This
will decrease the possibility of anyone viewing confidential information.
No other users will be able to access you’re my Account information
online without your User-ID and password.
|
Q. What are "Cookies"?
A. A “cookie” is a common name for
a text file on your computer that reminds the OUGPress.com computer
of your particular setup preferences and security requirements.
It also lets OUGPress.com know exactly who you are. Possibly,
a bit more accurately, it lets OUGPress.com know who is the “computer.”
For example, if John Doe uses a computer to log into the Website,
the cookie will be updated with John Doe’s preferences.
The cookie does not contain private confidential information.
If John’s wife, Jane Doe, logs into the Website thereafter, OUGPress.com
might say “Hi John” because of the cookie information. However,
after Jane logs into the Website, it would then say “Hi Jane”,
for example.
|
Q. Do I need to use “Cookies”?
A.
If
your browser prompts you when a cookie is sent, you must accept
it so that OUGPress.com can ensure that the data is being sent to
the proper parties.
|
Q. After I type in my User-ID
and password and then press submit, instead of seeing my account
information, I just see the same page all over again. Why does this
happen?
A. You may have your browser
set up to reject “cookies.” |
Q. I am trying to access the
My Account are and I keep getting sent to a page that talks about
browsers and security. Why?
A. OUGPress.com believes strongly
that we have a responsibility to protect your confidential information
to the best of our abilities. In order to securely access
your My Account information via the Internet, you should use the
latest browser versions available. |
