Security Procedures
We consider the protection of all personal information we receive from our Web site visitors and subscribers as critical to our corporate mission. Please be assured that we have security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of any personal information we receive from you. As with any transmission over the Internet, however, there is always some element of risk involved in sending personal information. In order to try to minimize this risk, we encrypt all information that you submit in ordering one of our products or services using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol. Our security procedures are also subject to at least an annual SAS-70 Type II audit by an internationally-recognized accounting firm.

How SSL Works
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is the transaction security protocol used by Web sites to protect online communications. The most common use of SSL is to provide protection for confidential data, such as entering personal details or credit card information into a Web site.

The SSL Certificate provides two primary functions:

• SSL Encryption allows data to be transmitted over computer networks in a secure manner
• Identity assurance (validation) allows the business running the site to 'prove' that they are who they claim to be

Once a secure transaction is initiated, (i.e. click the Submit or Buy button to begin a transaction on a Web site), there are four basic steps taken to establish a secure connection:

1. The browser checks the SSL Certificate to make sure that it is valid and that the site you are connecting to is legitimate.
2. Data encryption levels are established based on what the browser and Web site server can both use to understand each other.
3. The browser and server send each other unique codes to use when encrypting the information that will be sent.
4. The browser and server start talking using the encryption, the Web browser shows the encrypting icon, and the Web pages and information are processed securely.
