Security and SSL
Protecting your order information is a priority for us. We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to protect the security of your online order information.
To check the security of your connection, look at the lower left-hand or right-hand corner of your browser window after accessing the e-commerce server. If you see an unbroken key or a closed lock (depending on your browser), then SSL is active and the server is secure. You can also double-check by looking at the URL line of your browser. When accessing a secure server, the first characters of the site address will change from “http” to “https.”
Some versions of browsers and some firewalls do not permit communication through secure servers. In that case, you may not be able to connect to the server and therefore may not be able to place an order through an insecure connection. If you cannot access the secure server for any reason, please place your order by phone at (570) 629-1661.
