 Please take a moment to read about the steps that we have taken to help protect your information and make your online transmissions safer. We also invite you to review the steps you can take to help protect yourself further.
Secure Shopping
To help protect your credit card number and personal information, we encrypt every order. Encryption is a process by which we use software to scramble your credit card number and personal information in transit to us. If you are using a security-enabled browser (such as Microsoft Internet Explorer version 2.1 or greater, or Netscape Navigator version 2.0 or greater), the information you send us regarding your purchase is encrypted, making it extremely difficult to read even if it is wrongly intercepted. Our store utilizes industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to allow for the encryption of: potentially sensitive information such as your name, address and critically sensitive information like your credit card number. If you are still uncomfortable with submitting your personal information via the Internet for any reason, please feel free to contact us over the phone or via fax to complete your order.
Store Security - Help Protect Yourself
If you use a security-enabled browser (such as Microsoft Internet
Explorer version 2.1 or greater, or Netscape Navigator version 2.0
or greater) paying attention to browser features will decrease the
chances for the unintended or fraudulent use of your personal information:
1. Browser security settings.
Your browser security preference settings are your first line of defense to stopping the theft or unwanted viewing of confidential, personal information. The most popular browsers offer you the ability to receive an alert or notification if any of the following happen or are about to occur:
-changing between secure and insecure transmission modes
-receiving an invalid site identification for the site to which you are about to transmit
-sending a transmission over an "open" or unsecured connection
Check the settings of your browser security features to see all the checks that are possible and those that are currently in place.
2. Browser security signals.
The presence of security measures surrounding the entry of data on a web page is identified in several ways for you on your browser:
the URL identifying the page will always begin with "https://" versus the normal "http://".
a security symbol to indicate operation in a mode that supports secure transmissions
A "closed lock" icon is present in the bottom right-hand corner of your Microsoft Internet Explorer browser screen
An "unbroken key" icon appears in the lower left-hand corner of the Netscape Navigator browser screen
With these security measures in place, you can also feel confident that every credit card transaction you make is protected.
