We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information.

How do we protect your information?

Private information such as credit cards, social security numbers, billing or shipping information, etc. are never stored on our servers and are always removed after a transaction has taken place on our website. We use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) when performing transactions or becoming a member. This same technology is applied to every transaction process. Providers that participate in our Payment Gateway database gain access to necessary transaction information* by providing legal consent to keep personally identifiable information and sensitive financial information confidential. All participants within our Payment Gateway database are held accountable and responsible for keeping your information not only secure during the transaction process but also private, and are also subject to legal consequence, not excluding jail time for any breach.

* Necessary transaction information includes but is not limited to, payment methods, billing and shipping information, name, address, phone number, and/or other relevant information needed to perform a transaction for goods and services.
