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. Recent browsers are capable of 128-bit encryption. You can tell when you are visiting a secure area of our site by looking at the symbol at the bottom of your browser or the color of the address bar. You will typically 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. The address bar will be colored green, blue or yellow to indicate a secure connection and a security certificate.
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.
Please see our privacy policy for more details.
