Form Content Submission Security

LikeStuff 17 Apr, 2019
If someone is submitting personal information such as address, date of birth, SIN, etc... via the form, is having HTTPS on the site means that the information is protected or do I need to do something else?

Thanks!

It means that the connection between them and you is encrypted, so someone can't intercept and read the things they're sending while they're on the way. Once it gets to you, protecting the information depends on what you're doing with it.

So just to confirm... A website that have HTTPS means that the information submitted is protected until it gets to you?

Thanks!

That's my understanding, but I make no warranty or guarantee based on that statement.
