How Do We Protect The Information You Give Us?
Protecting your personal information is a priority for us. Your name, personal information and your credit card number are NEVER stored on the Internet with our system. Once you type your information, it is sent, encrypted, directly to a computer system that is NOT on the Internet.
If you wish to check the security of your connection, look at the lower left-hand corner of your browser window after accessing a secure server. (You will likely not be on a SSL until after you have added something to your shopping cart, or when you start checking out). If you see an unbroken key or a closed lock (depending on your browser), then SSL is active and the server is secure. You can also double-check by looking at the URL of your browser. When accessing a secure server, the site address will change from “http” to “https.”
Some browsers and firewalls won't permit communication through secure servers. This means you will not be able to connect to the server and won't be able to place an order through a secure connection. If this is the case you can always contact our customer service department at 1-800-394-4225 to place your order.
