Online information is protected by the use of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. You can check the security of your connection by looking at the lower left-hand corner of your browser window after accessing the server. An unbroken key or a closed lock (depending on your browser) means the SSL is active and the server is secure. You can also look at the URL address. If the first characters of the site address change from "http" to "https," then you have accessed a secure server.

Some firewalls and versions of browsers do not allow communication through secure servers. In that case, you won't be able to process your information through an insecure connection. If you cannot access the secure server for any reason, please print the form, fill it out and mail to: The Cato Corporation, 8100 Denmark Road, Charlotte, NC 28273-5975.
