Your Security
Among our top priorities is keeping your Personal Information secure. We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology, which provides the highest level of security currently available for secure transactions, to encrypt all of your Personal Information before it is transmitted to us.
To ensure your information is being encrypted and sent under a secure network, check the unbroken key icon or closed lock icon that should appear at the bottom of your internet browser's window (depending on what browser you use), or note that the URL address has changed from http:// to https://; these are indications that a secure server connection is being used. Unfortunately, no security protocols are perfect and no data transmission can be protected against unauthorized access, hacking, data loss, or other breaches, so we cannot guarantee or warrant security of any information you choose to provide at your own risk.
Should you fail to connect to our secure server, please call us at 1-800-438-2431. We will be happy to process your order over the phone.
Additionally, access to your Personal Information is provided only to our employees and agents who have a need to know such information for fulfilling your order and offering our high level of customer service. The computers that store your Personal Information are located in a separate facility which employs the latest in firewall and security technology.
