Order Security

When you provide personal information to us online, it is encrypted through secure server technology using Secure Socket Layers (SSL). SSL is the industry standard and among the best software available today for secure commerce transactions.

Encryption ensures that transactions are confidential - no one but us can access your personal information and credit card number. Basically, encryption works by "scrambling" the message or text during its travel from your computer to our server. This makes it virtually impossible for your information to be stolen or intercepted while being transferred over the Internet.

The SSL “handshake” - the process of identifying the two parties that want to establish an SSL connection - is complete and a secure communications “pipe” has been established. Your browser and the Web server can now use the session key to send encrypted information back and forth, knowing that their communications are confidential and tamper-proof. The entire process of establishing the SSL connection typically happens transparently to the user and takes only seconds.

A key or padlock icon in the lower corner of the browser window identifies the security mode of a browser. When the browser is running in “normal” mode, the key looks broken or the padlock looks open. Once an SSL connection has been established, the key becomes whole, or the padlock becomes closed, indicating that the browser is now in "secure" mode.

In addition, your credit card information is never sent via e-mail over the open Internet and your credit card information is not stored after your transaction has been cleared.
