The security of your information is important to us. The Website has technical and security measures in place designed to help protect the personal information we collect about you and to protect against the loss, misuse and unauthorized alteration, access, disclosure and/or destruction of the personal information under our control. Our server uses ssl (secure sockets layer) security protection by encrypting all of your personal information including credit card number, name and address to prevent individuals from reading this information as it travels over the internet.
