Terralíngua uses HTTPS to protect information in transit between your browser and the website. This includes information submitted through website forms and the client portal. Encryption helps prevent others on the network from reading or altering that traffic while it travels over the connection.
Understanding SSL and TLS
SSL is still a common name for website certificates and connection security, but modern HTTPS uses Transport Layer Security (TLS). A certificate helps the browser authenticate the website, while the connection uses negotiated encryption to protect transmitted data. A certificate’s key size alone does not describe how all traffic is encrypted or establish the overall security of a website.
What Our SSL Labs A Rating Means
The graphic below shows the A rating achieved by Terralíngua’s server in the Qualys SSL Labs assessment. The test checks the website certificate and evaluates protocol support, key exchange, and cipher strength: the mechanisms used to establish and protect an encrypted connection. An A grade reflects a strong result under the test’s rating criteria. It assesses the server’s SSL/TLS configuration, rather than serving as a complete audit of the website, account permissions, or stored files.
Check Your Connection Before Submitting Information
When accessing public pages or signing in to the portal, check the website address and the browser’s connection information before entering credentials or sending files.
Use these checks:
- Confirm that the address is the Terralíngua website you intended to visit and begins with https://. An encrypted connection to an unfamiliar or misleading address is not proof that the site belongs to Terralíngua.
- Open the site-information control beside the address to view the connection status and, where available, certificate details. The icon and menu wording vary by browser; it is not always a padlock.
- If the browser displays a certificate or connection warning, stop before submitting sensitive information and contact us through a known contact method. Do not bypass the warning to complete an upload or login.
Connection Security and File Handling
HTTPS protects the connection used to submit information, such as quote requests, registration details, and project files. It does not by itself determine who can access a file after it reaches the server, how long the file is retained, or how it is backed up.
Account permissions, server controls, and file-handling procedures have separate roles. Tell your project contact about any requirements for confidential materials before submission so that the transfer and handling arrangements can be assessed for the assignment.
Discuss Your Project’s Requirements
For translation projects involving sensitive information, share your requirements for access, transfer, storage, and retention with Terralíngua. We can discuss the arrangements that apply and clarify any additional conditions before files are exchanged.
