Security & Safe Shopping Information
Our online shopping system is fully protected by the highest security standards available for ecommerce sites. All transactions are transmitted in encrypted form across the Internet using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and an authorized Digital Certificate. We do not share your credit card or purchase information with any other parties other than our credit card merchant services company in order to complete your transaction.
When you click on our "secure checkout" button or otherwise enter secure mode, your computer and our ecommerce server begin communicating and sending data back and forth in an encrypted format. The encryption features of browser software are exceptionally powerful and ensure the security of this data as it is transmitted to our server.
How can you tell if your transaction is being processed in a secure and encrypted fashion? First, once you click on a "secure checkout" or similar button to begin entering personal information securely, the URL address on subsequent screens should be displayed beginning with "https://" instead of the standard "http://". The "s" stands for "secure." Also, most browsers display a security symbol at the bottom of the browser window when the browser is in secure mode. For example, in Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox, the two most commonly used browsers, you should see a padlock symbol in the lower right corner when on a secure checkout page.
Secure ecommerce sites should also display their SSL seal of authenticity (such as ours shown below), somewhere on the site so it can be clicked on and checked for validity by site visitors.
