Security Guidelines:
The security of your Personal Information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the internet, phone, or method of electronic storage, is without insecurities. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot in an ever changing state of technology, absolutely guarantee security on your end. In order to increase the security of your visit, and within the Company Websites, please be stateful. Here are some suggestions for a safer ecommerce experience:

  • Use a strong password that includes numbers, capitol letters, and optionally some punctuation. Example of a strong password: #eXamPLe675!
  • Do not re-use passwords from other services at the Company Websites. Often, passwords from email, forums, or games can be exposed, and attackers could gain access to your account.
  • Do not save your password or "auto login" on public machines such as libraries, schools, work, or friends devices. Always log out at the Company Website when you are done.
  • Be leary about using public Wifi such as coffee shops to perform sensitive transactions or place orders with your credit card. Even if you trust the business and its Wifi network, there could be someone listening in to your data before it comes to the Company Website.

Always make sure correspondence you receive comes from this Company and/or its Website. Phishing attacks can be used to trick you into opening correspondence, communication, or worst case, logging into fake/staged spoof of the Company. If in doubt, get a second opinion.
