Assuring your Security
Personal information provided on the Web Site and online credit card transactions are transmitted through a secure server using Secure Socket Layering (SSL), encryption technology. We are committed to handling your personal information with high standards of information security. We take appropriate physical electronic and administrative steps to maintain the security and accuracy of personally identifiable information and to ensure the privacy and security of your transactions with us. Your credit card number and other personal data will be treated with the highest standards of safety, security features, and confidentiality. Protecting your information is a priority to us. We use the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to protect the security of your online order information. In order to shop securely, you will need to use an Internet browser that supports SSL, such as Netscape v.2.0 or higher, or Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 or higher. From our shopping cart, after you click on the "Continue Check Out" button you will be able to check the security of your connection. To verify that your connection is secure, look at the lower information bar on your browser. If you see an unbroken key or a closed lock (depending on your browser), then the SSL is active. You can also double-check by looking at the URL line (address bar) of your browser. When accessing the secure server, the first characters of our site address will change from "http" to "https". Some versions of browsers and some firewalls do not permit communication through secure servers. Please note that email is not a secured format and is therefore not considered a secure means of transmitting information, including credit card numbers.
