Security

Your privacy and the security of your Personal Information is important to us. We will make reasonable efforts to ensure that whatever information you provide will be maintained in a secure environment. Your orders are encrypted using industry-standard SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption. SSL is a technology developed by Netscape and adopted by all vendors producing related web software. SLL technology is based on the “public/private key” encryption model – the same technology used to protect nuclear missile codes. It negotiates and employs the essential functions of mutual authentication, data encryption, and data integrity for secure transactions. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information (including Personal Information) you transmit to us or from our Site, and you provide such information at your own risk.
