Our systems are configured to provide privacy, integrity, and authentication in
Internet communications. The security measures we have taken help ensure that
your data is secure and encrypted, so that a third party cannot capture, read
or access the information while it is in transit between your computer and our
system. Some of the key features are outlined below:
We use a secure server implementing the Secure
Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol to interact with you when you provide
personal information during the purchase and payment processes;
Your information is encrypted using 128 bit encryption.
AOL, Netscape Navigator 4.06 or higher and Microsoft's Internet Explorer 4.01
or higher are capable of 128-bit browsers. You can tell when you are visiting a
secure area in our site by looking at the symbol on the bottom of your browser
screen. If you are using Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer, you will see
either a lock or a key. When the symbol appears unbroken or the padlock is in
the locked position, your session connection is taking place via a secure
server.
Our data security architecture provides for extraordinarily limited access to
your credit card or checking account information, though we do transmit the
entire number to the appropriate financial service provider when you purchase a
financial service.
We limit internal access to our servers and require that our people adhere to
high standards of ethics and integrity in performing their jobs and conducting
business.
