Data Security
The membership, bookstore and donations information you provide - including credit card information - is secured using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology.

The encrypted data goes to a secure site where your information is stored on restricted-access computers located at restricted-access sites. While we make every effort to ensure the integrity and security of our network and systems, we cannot guarantee that our security measures will prevent third-party "hackers" from illegally obtaining this information.
