This information is not used for any other purpose. For credit card authorization we use VeriSign Payment Services. When users submit sensitive information via the website, their information is protected both online and off-line. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, as it appears 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.
User information is stored on a secure, dedicated server.
All of our users' information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. We send all new members a welcoming email to verify password and username and a receipt. Established members will occasionally receive member updates. The user can do this by visiting his or her member information page or sending email to our Customer Support department. If we should ever need to change any aspect of our privacy policy, we will post links to those changes on our Homepage so that our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
