Web Beacons
Some of our web pages and HTML-formatted e-mail newsletters may use web beacons to compile aggregate statistics about website usage. A web beacon is an electronic image often called a single-pixel (1×1) or clear GIF, which is ordinarily not visible to the site visitor. Web beacons can recognize certain types of information on a visitor’s computer, such as visitor’s cookie number, time and date of page or image view and description of the page where the web beacon is placed. When used in an e-mail they can tell us whether an e-mail has been opened. NOTE: You may control whether your email client is allowed to download images.
How We Protect Your Personal Information
To help protect the security of your PI, we seek to use security technology and procedures, which are reviewed periodically. We use encryption technology and Secure Socket Layers (“SSL”) in all areas of the Site where your personal account information is required.

If your browser does not support SSL, or if you are unable to establish a secure connection due to company firewall, please call us at 954-667-8103 to place your order by phone.
In addition, your personal account information, and transaction history are kept behind a firewall. Unfortunately, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
