Encryption is a process by which we use software to scramble sensitive information while it is in transit to Dell. Please take a moment to read about the steps that we have taken to help protect your information and make your online transmissions safer. We also invite you to review the steps you can take to help protect yourself further.
Encryption is based on a key that has two different parts.
The public part and the private part. The public part of the key is distributed to those you want to communicate with. The private part is for the recipient's use only. That means, if at any point during the transmission your information is intercepted, it is scrambled and very difficult to decrypt. Once Dell receives your encrypted personal information, we use the private part of our key to decode it.
