Security Policy
Modelflight is committed to protecting the security of your data.

We ask you not to share a password with anyone. For security purposes, your password should not be written down and should be regularly reset. When we transmit sensitive information such as your credit card number and address details over the Internet, we protect it through the use of 128-bit encryption certificates and the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol - the industry-standard method for protecting web communications.
