When you place orders or access your account information, we use a secure server. The secure server software (SSL) encrypts all information you input before it is sent to us. As confirmation of this security, you should see the lock or key symbol on your browser. Furthermore, all of the customer data we collect is protected against unauthorized access. At no time is your credit card number transmitted over an unsecure link or included in e-mail order notifications to us or you. As a final security measure, the credit card data portion of your order is automatically purged from our server after 30 days.
