Security
This Web site takes every precaution
to protect our users information. When

is collected using Verisign Payment

protected with the best encryption
software in the industry - SSL. While on
a secure page, such as our order form,
the lock icon on the bottom of Web
browsers such as Netscape Navigator and
Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes
locked, as opposed to un-locked, or
open, when users are just surfing. While
we use SSL encryption to protect
sensitive information online, we also do
everything in our power to protect
user-information off-line. All of our
users information, not just the
sensitive information mentioned above,
is restricted in our offices. Only
employees who need the information to
perform a specific job (for example, our
billing clerk or a customer service
representative) are granted access to
personally identifiable information.
Furthermore, ALL employees are kept
up-to-date on our security and privacy
practices. Finally, the servers that
store personally identifiable
information are in a secure environment.

security at our Web site, users can send
an email to us.
