How Secure Is Information About Me?
VIP maintains appropriate safeguards to ensure the security, integrity and privacy of personally identifiable information submitted to our Site, and periodically reviews and updates its security measures in light of current technologies.

We use a SSL (Secure Socket Layer) digital certificate provider, providing our customers the strongest certificate services available. When credit card information is transmitted, industry standard encryption is used.
