This website takes every precaution to protect our users' information. When users
submit sensitive information via our website, your information is protected both
online and off-line. When our order form, log-in page, and/or registration page
asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number), that information
is encrypted and is protected with 128 bit encryption (High).
In addition, Go Daddy is used as our certifying authority. While on a secure page,
such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape
Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked,
or open, in normal non-secure use. While we use 128 bit SSL encryption to protect sensitive
information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user-information
off-line. All of our users' information, not just the sensitive information mentioned
above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to
perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative)
