Our Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software is the industry standard and among the best software available today for secure commerce transactions. It encrypts all of your personal information, including credit card number, name, and address, so that it cannot be read over the internet.

However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.
