Security
This web site takes
every precaution to protect our users' information.
When users submit sensitive information via the web
site, your information is protected and kept safe
both online and offline.
When our
registration/order form asks users to enter
sensitive information (such as credit card number
and/or social security number), those information is
encrypted and is protected by the best encryption
software-SSL. While on a secure page such as our
order form, and even if you are just 'surfing', the
lock icon on the bottom of Web Browsers such as
Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer
becomes locked, that is opposed to un-locked, or
open.
While we use SSL
encryption to protect sensitive information online,
we also do everything in our power to protect users'
information offline. All of our users' information,
not just the sensitive information mentioned above,
is restricted in our offices. Only employees who
need the information to perform a specific job (such
as a customer service representative or a clerk to
bill an order) are granted access to personal
identification information. Our employees must use
password-protected screen-savers when they leave
their computer. And when they return, they must
re-enter their password to re-gain access to users'
information. Furthermore, all employees are kept
up-to-date on our security and privacy practices.
Every quarter, as well as any time when new policies
are added, we notify our employees and remind them
of the importance we place on privacy, and what they
can do is to ensure our customers' information has
been protected and is safe enough. Finally, the
servers on which we save personal identification
information are kept in a secure environment behind
a locked cage.

will occasionally receive information on products,
services, special deals, and newsletters from us .

communications. Please see Choice and Opt-out below.
Correction/Updating
Personal Information
If a user's personal
identification information changed (such as zip
code), or if a user no longer desires our service,
we will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update
or remove that user's personal data provided to us.
This can usually be done at the member information
page or by emailing to our Customer Support.
Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given
the opportunities to 'opt-out' of having their
information used for purposes which not directly
relating our web site at the point where we ask for
the information. For example, our order form has an
'opt-out' mechanism so users who buy a product from
us, but don't want any marketing material, can keep
their email address out of our lists.
Users who no longer
wish to receive our newsletters or promotional
materials from our partners may opt-out of receiving
these communications by replying "to unsubscribe" in

changes on our Homepage so our users are always
