What does uBid do to protect my security over the Internet?

uBid has taken precautions to ensure your personal security.
The site operates with a VeriSign digital server certificate, featuring today's strongest cryptographic techniques. It uses a matched pair of encryption and decryption keys, providing unparalleled protection.

This technology protects your private customer information.
It prevents the possibility of someone trying to compromise information as it travels from your Web browser to our secure server. The pages where you submit your account information, place a bid, and receive confirmation of a successful bid are all secure. To help further safeguard your security, we recommend that you keep your account number and password secret.

uBid does not sell, trade or rent personal information to other parties.
We assign anonymous customer numbers, not traceable to any individual and different from any customer login ID, which may be shared with outside sources on an aggregate basis.

uBid is implementing policies to prevent fraud at every level.
One example is the fact that uBid requires all buyers and sellers to possess a credit card. This makes it more difficult for individuals to be deceptive.

Please note:uBid cannot control information Consumer Exchange users make available to others in the Consumer Exchange.
