We value our customers and want to make shopping online comfortable and safe. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.

Data Security
We take precautions to safeguard your financial information. Your credit card numbers are protected while in transit using the industry-standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption. Your credit information is also encrypted when stored on our network, protecting it from theft or internal compromise.
For added safety, if our customer service team suspects anything improper with your order or credit card, they will contact you directly to obtain voice authorization before proceeding.
