What Steps Are Taken to Keep Personal Information Secure?

The security of all personal information associated with you is of utmost concern to us. We exercise great care in providing secure transmission of your information from your computer to our servers. Personal information collected by our websites is stored in secure operating environments that are not available to the public. In many instances, such as in the case of credit card numbers and all online purchases, the personal information is encrypted before you conduct your transaction. Only those who need access to your personal information in order to do their jobs are allowed access. To protect the security of your information during transmission, we use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts the information you input. Most browsers will give a visual indication of when your connection is secure. For example, Internet Explorer will show a lock icon in the lower right of the browser window.  While we make reasonable efforts to safeguard your personal information once we receive it, no transmission of data over the Internet or any other public network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or information we transmit to you from our website, and you do so at your own risk.
