Security And Privacy
The privacy policy described below applies to any
and all portions of the web site administered by CyberSkies.Net/BidPlus,
inc.
Protecting your privacy is
important to us. We hope the following statement will help you
understand how CyberSkies.Net/BidPlus, inc. collects, uses and
safeguards the personal information you provide to us on our site.
I. Information collected
online. CyberSkies.Net/BidPlus collects a limited
amount of information when customers register their Millennium
program and purchase subscription time. This information can be
separated into two categories: A) information that
is maintained by CyberSkies.Net/BidPlus and kept as part of our
master database, and B) information that
is used only once for the purpose of conducting online purchasing
transaction and not made a part of any database.
We are all part of the same
community, and we understand the need to maintain your privacy.
Registration information that is collected online (name, file
number, email, domicile, and phone contact information) is the
minimum data required for us to provide customer support and
maintain accurate records of who is using our program. We
purposefully do not maintain any locating information, thus removing
the possibility that an unauthorized party will gain access to
sensitive information.
The information we receive is
obtained via a secure, encrypted, internet connection. It is also
stored in a secure database server. Information that is used to
process credit card transactions is also transmitted via a secure
connection. This is true both in the data collection process as well
as during transaction processing. When the transaction is complete
and you leave our site, any and all information associated with the
transaction is permanently discarded. The only information
maintained by CyberSkies.Net/BidPlus is an order number, a
description of what was purchased, the amount, and the end result of
the transaction (success or failure). If a card is rejected, we do
not obtain any amplifying information (reason for the failure).
Many programs that are integrated
with the internet make use of "cookies". These are small text files
that are maintained on your computer that can track various aspects
of your browsing session. CyberSkies.Net/BidPlus does not use
cookies or any other means to create a record of your
online activity.
II. Sharing
Information. CyberSkies.Net/BidPlus does not provide
any information to any outside party for any reason. This most
certainly includes advertisers.
III. Consumer
inquiries about information or our privacy policy.
Information maintained by CyberSkies.Net/BidPlus can be freely
accessed and updated by users that provide appropriate
access information (user id and password). A number of
security provisions are in place to prevent unauthorized users from
accessing your records.
Browser Security. Portions
of our web site that contain user registration information can only
be accessed by a BidPlus Millennium browser. This enables us to
maintain a higher level of control over what can and cannot be
accessed. Users attempting to access this information by other means
will be directed to a "Invalid Browser" page.
Logon Lockout. If a
particular account is accessed by an invalid user 3 times, any
access to the account will be blocked until specifically turned back
on by CyberSkies.Net/BidPlus.
We welcome your questions and
comments regarding information security and privacy at any time.
Please direct your comments and questions to privacy@bidplus.com.
IV. Online Information
Protection.CyberSkies.Net/BidPlus uses the industry
standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol that encrypts personal
information being transferred over the Internet. Use of this
technology requires that vendors be authenticated by a recognized
authority, and that a valid security certificate exist on the web
server hosting our site. Access to customer information is
restricted to a minimum number of essential company personnel only.
V. Changes to our
Privacy Policy. Any changes to our privacy policy will
be made online and posted via our web site. Our policy can be
reviewed at any time by visiting www.bidplus.com, or when
authorized users update their online personal profiles.
