Security

We consider the security of our database records, and financial transactions to be among our top priorities. We have partnered with three separate professional organizations to help assure that the integrity of stored data, financial transactions and personal privacy of all users is safeguarded at all times.

1. Control Scan provides security of the data within our database in the following manner:
   
   Our unique software systems are protected through the use of hardware firewall that normally thwarts most unauthorized intrusions automatically. The firewalls usually prevent or inhibit access the unauthorized access to operating software by hackers. The web application is scanned daily for vulnerabilities by Control Scan, one of the best known web site security companies.
   
   
   The Control scan seal is a visible deterrent to hackers.
   
   
2. Thawte provides security of the data modified, stored, and posted within the web site in the following manner:
   
   All data to and from the web site is protected by a 256 bit security certificate encryption issued by Thawte. (This is among the highest standards available.)
   
   
   
   The Thawte seal is a visible deterrent to hackers.
   
   
3. Authorize.net provides an additional financial security layer for the use of credit cards, debit cards, and account routing numbers submitted for financial transactions within the web site.

As security measures improve, often does the general knowledge of the hackers evolve proportionally. It is for this reason we strive to remain vigilant and review often, and evaluate the need to increase, and perhaps modify our security as needed. These measures to remain ahead of all efforts of hacking, and threats, are fundamental essential to assure any reasonable level of security for all users within our web site.
