Security is a major priority for us. We have developed
this policy to outlines our guidelines and procedures.
Note: To help protect our members, we are unable to publicly
specify certain security procedures. The following guide should serve
as a general outline.
General practices:
Our server runs on the latest Linux operating system. We perform regular
software updates, as security updates become available. Each server is
placed behind a firewall and is monitored by a team of hosting professionals.
We carefully record access attempts and follow up on any suspicious activity.
We also employ several software programs to help guard against unauthorized
access. Finally, the servers are kept within a secure-access facility
with 24/7 on-site security.
Protection of image files:
All large (for-sale) images are kept in a secure location within our server.
This makes it impossible to direct-link any of our retail-size image files.
Access to this folder is restricted to server control only, which provides
the highest level of security for our images. Images are only available
when they are purchased, and are restricted to authorized members only.
Protection of personal information:
Your person information is kept securely within our database. All member
passwords are encrypted and can not be viewed by anyone. Database access
is password protected and kept behind a restricted-access firewall. Access
is restricted by a series of passwords and validation tests. Only top-level
system administrators have access to the database.
Protection of credit card information:
All credit card transactions are conducted over our secure server, utilizing
a 128-bit encrypted SSL connection. Our server security is verified by
the security firm, GeoSign. We conduct routine security checks to ensure
that your information is always kept secure.
