Website Security

This website takes every precaution to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected online. When our registration/order form (through Paypal) asks you to enter sensitive information (such as credit card numbers), that information is encrypted and is protected with SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on Web browsers such as Firefox, Netscape Navigator, Chrome, and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just surfing.

SSL

Short for Secure Sockets Layer, a protocol developed by Netscape for transmitting private documents via the Internet. SSL works by using a private key to encrypt data that’s transferred over the SSL connection. Both Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer support SSL, and many Web sites use the protocol to obtain confidential user information, such as credit card numbers. By convention, URLs that require an SSL connection start with https: instead of http:
