Because your credit card security is a high priority, we have taken numerous steps to ensure that your payment information is processed confidentially, accurately and securely. DMES uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), an encryption technology that protects your credit card information. SSL encrypts all ordering information (name, address, and credit card number) so no one can read it as it travels over the Internet. As an additional layer of security for orders placed on the Internet, we do not keep records of your credit card numbers or expiration dates on file. This information is passed directly through to our credit card processing company during the ordering process. DMES is HIPAA compliant.
