Data Security (Encryption) We use advanced encryption technology to insure that your personal and credit card information is safe during transmission with our site. All transactions are completed on a secure Web server. In secure mode, your computer and our Web server send data back and forth in the encrypted format. Encrypted format means that the information is securely coded so that only the party it is meant for (us) can read it. Other parties are not able to read it. The encryption features of browser software are exceptionally powerful and ensure the security of this data as it is transmitted to our server. A browser in secure mode will display a URL address beginning https:// rather than the standard http://. The s stands for secure. In Netscape NavigatorTM (versions 3.0 and earlier), the broken key symbol in the lower left corner of your browser window will become a solid key in secure mode. If you're using Netscape Communicator 4.0TM or higher, look for the padlock in the same space: it's open in standard mode and closed in secure mode. In Microsoft Internet ExplorerTM, you'll see a padlock symbol at the bottom of your browser window when the browser is in secure mode.
