Protecting Your Personal Information
The security of your personal information is extremely important to us. At our physical headquarters, we have security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of your personal information.

When we receive and transfer your data online, such as a credit card number, we use GeoTrust secure socket layer technology (SSL) to encrypt your information and protect your privacy. We are also compliant with the Payment Cards Industry (PCI) standards.
