All patient related information entered into LCodeSearch.com's site is not shared or retained. LCodeSearch.com realizes how important security is to you, so we've taken a number of steps to enhance the protection of personal or confidential information provided to or from LCodeSearch.com over the Internet.
How You Can Protect Yourself
LCodesearch.com can reasonably ensure that the data you store in our system is kept safe and secure. We cannot, however provide protection for your computer or the connection you make to the Internet. Here are a few steps you can take to help make sure that your computer connection remains safe from unauthorized intruders via the Internet:
Your Password: By making your password at least 8 characters long and by mixing both numbers and letters, you can help LCodesearch.com make your password even more difficult for an unauthorized user to "guess". It is recommended that you change your password at least every 6 months.
Your Username: Your username, combined with your password, provide you access to your LCodesearch.com member areas. Your LCodesearch.com username should be at least six characters in length and can be letters and numbers. Keep in mind that the longer your user name is and the greater mixture of letters and numbers you use (alpha-numeric), the more difficult it will be for an unauthorized person to "guess".
Personal Firewalls: Much like the firewalls that LCodesearch.com uses to protect your data, a personal home firewall will help protect your home computer from unauthorized access entering your computer from the Internet. There are many home computer firewall programs available.
Spyware Protection: Also called adware, spyware is any software that secretly gathers user information through the user's Internet connection without his or her knowledge, usually for advertising purposes. Spyware applications are typically bundled as a hidden component of freeware or shareware programs that can be downloaded from the Internet. Once installed, the spyware monitors your activity on the Internet, possibly including email addresses, passwords, or credit card numbers. Spyware transmits that information, in the background, to someone else who will either use it for advertising/marketing purposes or sell the information to another party. LCodesearch.com does not endorse any specific product or service, but we have listed examples of spyware detection and removal software for your review. It should also be noted that a personal firewall may help detect and prevent spyware programs' attempts to communicate to or from your personal computer.

Virus Protection: At the time this document was written, there were more than 2,300 known computer viruses. Every computer should have a virus detection program running in conjunction with the personal firewall software. Your local computer store can help you select a program that is right for you.
