A “registered” user to our Site is one who has elected to complete the registration page on our Site and establish an ongoing, personalized experience with us through our Website and related resources.

A “cookie” is a small text file that is stored on your computer when you access a Website. Cookies can perform useful functions, such as allowing you to return to the Website and be recognized without having to restart an authentication process or type in your registration information.

Web Usage Tracking: We employ various software tracking techniques to produce website traffic reports to understand and improve the Website experience for visitors and customers. These reports compile individual user visits anonymously.
Secure Transmissions to Our Servers: We use a widely used encryption technology called SSL to encode sensitive information when you transmit it to us through our Website. This is generally the same technology used by your banks. Once your personally identifiable information is saved on our servers, we utilize a combination of operational, procedural and physical safeguards to secure your personally identifiable information from unauthorized use or compromise. To further reduce risk of compromise, not all data on our customer accounts is available through the Site.
Email Security: Sensitive information about customer accounts is not transmitted by us to you via electronic mail. Our visitors, registered users and customers are reminded that email is not a secure transmission method, and should not be used to exchange private information with us, especially account numbers and permanent passwords.
Information Accuracy
Part of the responsibility for storing your personally identifiable information securely is to provide you with a means of correcting information you find to be inaccurate. The Company provides a means for online updating and verification of all information you provide to us through our Website. In addition, other customer information displayed on the Site but collected by us through other business transactions we conduct with you can be updated by you by calling our office.
Security Standards
The Company safeguards the integrity, security and privacy of the personal information you provide to us. We store your credit card and bank account information with industry standard encryption algorithms. For purposes of security, when you complete your online registration, you will have a unique log in. This log in information is for you to authenticate yourself when using your registered account. Additionally, you will be responsible for creating a secret password that will be used to access your online account. You are responsible for ensuring the security and confidentiality of the password. Keep your password in a safe and secure place and do not share it with anyone. You are responsible for purchases made using the password and login and that any activity engaged in using the password you specified during registration will be deemed to have been engaged in by you. If you think someone has obtained your login or password, please immediately contact customer service. If we suspect there is security breach or other unauthorized activity involving your account, we may post a notice on our Website, or try to contact you using your email or postal address or telephone.

It is accessible only to our employees who need to access it in connection with your purchase of our products and services.
