Data Security
This site incorporates physical, electronic, and administrative procedures to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal information, including using 128-bit secure sockets layer (SSL) technology to encrypt all financial transactions. SSL technology negotiates and employs the essential functions of mutual authentication, data encryption, and data integrity for secure transactions to protect your personal information online. Furthermore, sensitive data (i.e. credit card information) is NOT stored on our servers. All transactions (including PayPal, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and Amex) are authorized and processed through PayPal as our secure payment gateway. PayPal uses data encryption and anti-fraud technology to keep your information secure, reducing the risk of online fraud.
While we use industry-standard precautions to safeguard your personal information, we cannot guarantee complete security. 100% complete security does not presently exist anywhere online or offline.
