Security Policy
Many people are concerned about the security of their credit card number and private information when placing orders over the Internet. To address this concern, our site employs "Secure Sockets Layer"(SSL) security protocol which provides data encryption, message integrity and server authentication.
Data Encryption makes it virtually impossible for unauthorized people to view information traveling between computers. Information sent between computers is cryptographically encoded by the sender and then decoded by the receiver. If the encoded message is not received intact it can not be decoded thereby ensuring the that the data passing between you and our servers has not been modified in any way.
Server Authentication confirms a server's identity by ensuring that the server's certificate and public ID are valid and have been issued by a recognized Certificate Authority (CA). Confirming a server's identity before sending a credit card number over the Internet is important to ensure you aren't sending your credit card information to someone other than the intended party.
To benefit from the features of SSL you must use a browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape, Opera and AOL browsers to ensure your information is submitted with a high level of security. To verify SSL security is in effect look for the secure symbol typically represented a "key" or "lock" located in the bottom or top corners of the browser.
Be certain you see a symbol like one of these in your browser window before sending private information over the internet.
