encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a lock icon

While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect

your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job

(for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable

information. The computers and servers in which we store personally identifiable information

are kept in a secure environment. This is all done to prevent any loss, misuse, unauthorized

access, disclosure or modification of the user's personal information under our control.

providing simple and secure access and communication of credit card and personal
