How Do We Secure Information Transmissions?

When you send confidential personal credit card information to us on our Web site, a secure server software (SSL), which we have licensed, encrypts all information you input before it is processed.

 

Other email that you may send to us may not be secure unless we advise you that security measures will be in place prior to your transmitting the information. For that reason, we ask that you do not send confidential information such as Social Security or account numbers to us through an unsecured email.

 

How Do We Protect Your Information?

Information Security. We utilize SSL encryption/security software to safeguard the confidentiality of personal information we collect from unauthorized access or disclosure and accidental loss, alteration or destruction.

 

As an additional safeguard, none of your personal credit card or financial information is stored on our servers or in our databases. If you choose to "save" your credit card information for future purchasing, this is stored on the highly encrypted servers of our merchant processor, Authorize.net.

 

Evaluation of Information Protection Practices. Periodically, our operations and business practices are reviewed for compliance with corporate policies and procedures governing the security, confidentiality and quality of our information.

 

Employee Access, Training and Expectations. Our corporate values, ethical standards, policies and practices are committed to the protection of member information. In general, our business practices limit employee access to confidential information, and limit the use and disclosure of such information to authorized persons, processes and transactions.

 

Do We Disclose Information to Outside Parties?

Outside Links
