I've thought of that but haven't proposed it -- for reasons that are
basically irrelevant here -- but it's an idea worth reconsidering. Thanks.
My expectation is that C will say no, not necessary -- but it might be
worth a try nonetheless.

For brevity's sake I omitted to mention before: C has another Geek who
minds her office computer stuff for her, and according to C, Geek has
declared that the status quo is OK because the page through which the
sensitive data is retrieved is SSL-encrypted.
