HTTPS

HTTPS is a safer version of HTTP, the protocol used to browse the web. It uses encryption (fancy technology that scrambles your data) to keep the information you send and receive, like passwords or credit card details, from being stolen.

This ensures that your online activities remain private and secure.

When browsing the web, make sure any site you submit information on uses the HTTPS protocol. (Look for the “https://” at the beginning of the web address, such as https://amazon.com, NOT http://amazon.com)

You can think of HTTPS as a digital bodyguard, shielding your sensitive data from hackers and other online dangers.
