This site operates on a Unix server on a protected network. It is powered by a SQL database and this database is protected by passwords and other security measures. The check-out portion of this site's shopping experience is further protected by SSL technology (Secure Socket Layer), which encrypts all data packets passing over its connections.

No financially sensitive information (credit card numbers) is ever left on the server for more than 48 hrs at any time. Each and every order is cleared off the public server as it is processed. After twelve years of Internet experience (since 1989), we have become as conscientiously protective of our customers and their personal information as we are of our own privacy. This is in the best interests of all concerned.
