We follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional generally accepted industry standards. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while We strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, We cannot guarantee absolute security of your personal information. If you have any questions about security on Website, you can email Company at [email protected].
