Beltal is concerned with providing you with an enjoyable and safe environment, including account security. Here are some basic steps you can take to protect your Beltal account.

Choose your Email, Beltal password carefully

• Your Email and password give you access to your Beltal account. Your Email identifies you on Beltal.com. Your password is the key to your account.

Using the same sign-in information for several online accounts means that if someone is able to access one of your accounts, they will have access to all of your other accounts as well.

• Any email that looks as if it is from Beltal that mentions a problem with your account or requests personal information is a fake email.
• Beltal.com will never ask you to provide sign-in passwords, credit card numbers, or other sensitive information through email. If Beltal requests information, Beltal always directs you back to Beltal.

By maintaining current versions of Spyware protection you can be sure that people who want to steal your account or your identity won't have access to your computer.

It is especially important to use a firewall if you have a high-speed connection that is always connected to the Internet.
