The Site uses Secure Sockets Layer encryption (or other reasonable technical security safeguards) in the transmission of sensitive information. We maintain a secured area on the Site for transmission of registration information, test sample information and analytical data and store this data in a private database.

Nevertheless, we endeavor to ensure that all pages transmitting financial information are encrypted. Please inform us immediately if any such page is not encrypted. Please refer to your browser’s online help for further information on determining whether a specific page you are viewing is encrypted. We utilize reasonable technical security measures such as firewalls, passwords and other mechanisms on our computer systems housing all registration and financial data.
