Security
We take every precaution to protect our users’ information. When users submit sensitive financial information via the Web site, your information is protected both online and offline. When our order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number, that information is encrypted and protected with superior best practices encryption software in the industry). While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon that you see on the bottom of Web browsers, such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer, becomes locked, as opposed to unlocked, or open, when you are just “surfing.” While we use 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) are granted access to personally identifiable information. Our employees must use password-protected screen-savers when they leave their desks. Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up to date on our security and privacy practices. Every quarter, as well as any time new policies are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our customers’ information is protected. Finally, the servers on which we store personally identifiable information, are kept in a completely secure environment.

Correction/Updating Personal Information:
If a user’s personally identifiable information changes (such as your zip code), or if a user no longer desires our service, we will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove that user’s personal data provided to us. This can be done in the users account section or by emailing using the contact us tab at the top of the page.

Choice/Opt-out:
Our users are given the opportunity to “opt-out” of having their information used for purposes not directly related to our site. For example, our any emails will have an “opt-out” unsubscribe mechanism so users who don’t want any marketing material, can keep their email address off our promotional lists. Users who no longer wish to not receive emails may opt-out of receiving communications by emailing us using the contact us link at the top of the page, or responding to any email from us, requesting they be unsubscribed, or using the opt-out link on any such email or logging in to their account to opt out or delete their account.
