Security PROBUSTERS.COM takes your security seriously and takes
reasonable steps to protect your information. No data transmissions
over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Consequently,
we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you

systems. However, please note that this is not a guarantee that
such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed
by breach of any firewalls or secure server software we may employ.
PROBUSTERS.COM continues to evaluate and implement enhancements
in security technology and practices, however we can only take steps
to help reduce the risks of unauthorized access. PROBUSTERS.COM
has taken the following steps in this regard:
Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
PROBUSTERS.COM uses SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption when
transmitting certain kinds of information, such as registration
information or payment information. An icon resembling a padlock
is displayed on the bottom of most browsers window during SSL
transactions that involve credit cards and other forms of payment.
Any time PROBUSTERS.COM asks you for a credit card number on PROBUSTERS.COM
for payment or for verification purposes, it will be SSL encrypted.
The information you provide will be stored securely on our servers.
Once you choose to store or enter your credit card number on PROBUSTERS.COM,
it will not be displayed back to you in its entirety when you
retrieve or edit it in the future. Instead of the entire number,
you will only see asterisks and either the first four digits or
the last four digits of your number.
Secure Storage
PROBUSTERS.COM maintains reasonable physical, electronic, and
procedural safeguards that comply with federal regulations to
protect personal information about you.
Vendors and Partners
PROBUSTERS.COM works with vendors and partners to protect the
security and privacy of user information.
Employee and Contractor Access to Information
PROBUSTERS.COM limits access to personal information about you
to those employees who we reasonably believe need to come into
contact with that information to provide products or services
to you or in order to do their jobs.
Education and Training for Employees
PROBUSTERS.COM has implemented a company-wide education and training
program about security that is required of every PROBUSTERS.COM
employee.
If PROBUSTERS.COM learns of a security systems breach, we may attempt
to notify you electronically so that you can take appropriate protective
steps. By using this Web site or providing personal information
to us you agree that we can communicate with you electronically
regarding security, privacy and administrative issues relating to
your use of this site. PROBUSTERS.COM may post a notice on our Web

breach in writing. To receive free written notice of a security

This Privacy Policy supersedes and replaces all previously posted
Privacy Policies.
