At Swipely we always go to great lengths to protect your security (see Swipely’s security FAQ). Since day one, we’ve used bank-grade SSL-EV 256-bit encryption when exchanging sensitive information, and to login. Many modern Web sites take this approach of using SSL encryption when asking for sensitive data, while using an unencrypted connection to send public data (like images or maps), because encrypted data doesn’t travel across the Web as quickly as unencrypted data. Recently, some leading sites have started to switch to use SSL all the time, as the additional security measure benefits outweigh the costs of ensuring high performance (See Google Gmail, for example). Today, we’re pleased to say that every page, image, map or other resource you request from Swipely is encrypted with our bank-grade encryption - even resources that aren’t sensitive in nature. You shouldn’t notice any slow-down in your Swipely experience, but if you have any questions, we’re here to help at support@swipely.com. Happy swiping!
