HOW DO WE PROTECT THE SECURITY AND QUALITY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

To protect the security and quality of your personal information, we have implemented technical and managerial procedures to maintain accurate, current and complete information as well as to protect your personal information against loss, misuse or alteration when it is under our control. Your personally identifiable information will be encrypted and stored on our secured servers. Your personal information is also password protected so that access is limited to yourself and those with whom you share your password, Company, as well as third party access facilitated by Company with your prior permission.  We have also taken steps to help protect the integrity of your personal financial information when you complete a purchase transaction on our Website.  As noted above, we use a Transaction Processor to facilitate confidential online business transactions. Transaction Processor helps prevent your credit information from being read by unauthorized persons as this information is transmitted over the Internet. Transaction Processor employs the Server using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption for the secure exchange of your personal information and the transaction processing system. Transaction Processor transaction system passes your credit information through its system, but does not retain any credit card numbers. Once the transaction is completed, information about the sale (without credit card information) is stored in a password-protected online database maintained by Transaction Processor. Only in an offline and offsite accounting server does Transaction Processor retain the entire transaction record. This eliminates the ability of hackers to gain access to your personal information.  In addition, Transaction Processor processes all transactions by private digital lines, and not via the Internet.
