How we protect your information

Our site is also in compliance with PCI (Payment Card Industry) vulnerability standards in order to create as secure of an environment as possible for users. When you are paying for a product on our site, your payment is processed by a third-party payment processor that specializes in secure online payment processing. If a user chooses to save a credit card on our site, the third-party processor stores this information, and our site can only reference the card through unique identifiers that do not reveal the full card details. This is a process called tokenization.
