Security Policy
How We Protect You
PSN takes our responsibility of protecting your information seriously with investments in the latest technology and security protocols. Since threats are ever-changing, we update security measures on a regular basis. PSN also has an independent annual audit by security experts to assure we maintain the highest level of security. Additionally, any affiliate of PSN must also have independent annual audits and adhere to PSN’s security measures.
From the time information leaves your computer to the time it enters the PSN system, all online and mobile sessions are encrypted. We use the strongest encryption available to help protect your data. We also only support browsers that adhere to our encryption standards and will block browsers that don’t.
PSN will automatically log you off from your online session after a period of inactivity, reducing the risk of others accessing your information.
PSN monitors its system 24/7 for any suspicious activity. If unusual activity occurs, we may temporarily deny anyone access until we are assured there is no threat. If your activity looks out of the ordinary, we will block access to your account. We will reinstate your access once we have determined that the activity was actually made by you.
