Is my personal and payment information secure?

We use an SSL (Secure Socket Layer) Shopping Cart system for our store.
Payments are processed through Paypal's credit card processing system, which is also SSL protected. Your order is fully secure through our Shopping Cart as well as during the payment process. Ordering data and credit card information is encrypted with 128-bit encryption, the most secure level possible.

When ordering on our secure server you will see a "lock" symbol or icon in your browser window. Some browsers display the lock at the bottom right corner of the window. Others display it in the lower left corner of the window. Still others display the lock within the Address Bar, where the web page's URL is located.
The lock symbol in your browser tells you that you can submit your order with confidence.
When paying on PayPal's system you will also see that lock. This tells you that you can submit your credit card information securely. Also, look for the Thawte SSL certificate on most if not all of our pages. This is another assurance that your data is secure.

Another safety feature of our web site is "McAfee Secure" (Formerly known as "Hacker Safe"), a security-scanning service the constantly monitors our site for resistance to hackers and other security infractions. This helps us assure that our site is resistant to compromise by those with nefarious intent.

Internally, within our organization, we subscribe to the PCI security standards for handling of customers confidential information. One such step involves not storing any confidential customer information on our order processing computers or database management computers. We also apply industry-standard security measures to prohibit access to our systems from outsiders, making our company and its processes PCI compliant. (back to top)
