Security Policy

We offer secure transaction processing for VISA and MASTERCARD orders using the standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol. If your browser does not support SSL, we recommend that you update your browser to the latest version of Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer. We use the Stronghold web server which features RSA public key technology and uncompromised, full 168-bit symmetric encryption. We are fully certified by Thawte, a leading world-wide provider of security and authentication services for electronic commerce. Credit card numbers are not stored on our servers after the transaction has been processed.

Although there can never be a guarantee of absolute security for credit card transactions, we believe this method to be more secure than many common credit card uses--giving your credit card to a waiter in a restaurant, for instance. However, if you do not wish to send your credit card number over the internet under any circumstances, we certainly understand. In that case, when you get to the screen with the summary of your order, you can simply print the page from your browser and FAX it, along with your credit card and shipping information to 1-530-795-4920.

For more information on the security of transactions on the web, you may wish to read the RSA security FAQ.
