Website Security

For your protection, any and all on-line data must pass through our secure server. The security protocol that is utilized is called Secure Socket Layer (SSL). SSL protects all data transmissions between your PC and our secure server. SSL utilizes authentication and encryption technology developed by RSA Data Security, Inc.

This method of cryptography means that your personal information cannot readily be deciphered by unauthorized individuals. Our secure server uses 128 bit encryption (the highest level of encryption currently available) and is verified by Verisign, Inc., a leading provider of secure online certificates.

Cookies and GUIDs

Most web sites use "cookies" and so do we.

In addition, we also use a GUID (Globally Unique IDentifier) to enhance the use of cookies. A GUID is an alphanumeric identifier that we store within a cookie to better assist us in statistical analysis. We collect this data on an aggregate basis.

No individual information is associated with it, unless you provide it to us through transactions such as requesting information by mail. Our goals are to better understand your interests, make our site more useful to you, and understand the most effective forms of advertising.

The terms of the above privacy statement are effective 05/25/2007. If we revise the terms we will post them here, along with a revision date.
