Data Retrieval Instructions

Integrated Messaging provides a facility for clients to retrieve data and reports via the World Wide Web.

Security Information

Security is important to us. IMI uses several layers of robust security technology to help ensure the confidentiality of information across the Internet.

The first security level begins with your Web browser. When you access secure areas of our web site, your browser is checked by IMI to ensure that it meets our minimum requirements. Additionally, we only allow customers with browsers that use 128-bit encryption (one of the highest levels of browser security available today) to retrieve confidential data.

The browser validation will verify the browser type you are using, your browser encryption level, the version of Netscape or Microsoft browser. To access secured data, you need to use 128-bit encryption technology :

• a Netscape browser version 4.06 or better with a minimum 128-bit encryption technology
• a Microsoft browser version 4.01 SP2 or better with a minimum 128-bit encryption technology

If your browser does not meet all of these requirements, you will need to upgrade your browser.

You may require a few items to be setup on your computer prior to being able to access our secure ZIP data files. There are many programs available to process Zip files. One of our favourites is WinZip (click to visit the WinZip site).

Automating file downloads

Rather than using the web browser interface you may want to automate the retrieval of files from our web site. The program CURL allows you to build a command line to retrieve individual files.

You must know the name of the file to be downloaded. This should not be difficult since the name of most includes the date.

Example curl use on windows: bat file.
Example curl use on unix based systems: bash script.

As you are aware, new legislation became effective January 1, 2004 with respect to the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act. (PIPEDA). In order to be fully compliant Integrated Messaging has adopted a Privacy Policy. Our role as a call centre may require that we capture, process and store personal information on your behalf. This document outlines how we will protect that information. The assurance must be given by all clients that they also protect personal information.
