Security
When you submit sensitive information through our web site, your information is encrypted and protected with the best encryption technology in the industry - secure socket layer (SSL). You can determine whether you are on a secure or non-secure page by looking at the small lock or key icon normally located at the bottom of your browser (or to the right of the address bar). When the lock icon is "locked" you are in a secure area of the site and it is safe to transmit sensitive information. If you have any questions about the security of our web site, please e-mail the Book Emporium webmaster.
