Security

  • We have instituted reasonable safeguards to help ensure that information collected is secure.

  • When you send or otherwise transmit your sensitive information (such as your credit card number) to or though the sites, your sensitive information is encrypted and protected with SSL, the current industry-standard encryption protocol.

Another way to tell if you are on a secure page is to check the URL or address of the page. (Look in the address box or right-click on the page and select “Properties”.) These secure SSL-encrypted pages have URLs that start with “https://” instead of “http://”.
