OUR SECURITY SAFEGUARD

The safety and security of your online shopping experience is of the utmost concern to us. We ensure the appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures are in place to safeguard and help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security, and correctly use the information we collect online.

CREDIT CARD SAFETY

Protecting the safety of your credit card information is also important to us. We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to protect the security of your credit card information as it is transmitted to us. SSL is the industry standard in Internet encryption technology, which is a highly sophisticated method of scrambling data as it travels from your computer to our website servers. We also encrypt your credit card number when we store your order and whenever we transfer that information to participating merchants.

To make sure you are accessing our secure server before you submit personal financial information, look at the lower left-hand corner of your browser. If you see an unbroken key or a closed lock (depending upon your browser), then SSL is active. To double-check for security, look at the URL or address line of your browser. If you have accessed a secure server, the first characters of the address in that line should change from "http" to "https."  It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.

CHILDREN

If you are under 18, you need parent/guardian permission to use a credit card to make purchases online.
