we implement these measures for different types of information you may provide

o Secure Socket Layer (SSL) BIDUX uses
SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption when transmitting certain kinds of
information, such as financial services information or payment information. An
icon resembling a padlock is displayed on the bottom of most browsers window
during SSL transactions that involve credit cards and other forms of payment.
Any time BIDUX asks you for a credit card number for payment or for
verification purposes, it will be SSL encrypted. The information you provide
will be stored securely on our servers. Once you choose to store or enter your
credit card number on BIDUX, it will not be displayed back to you in its
entirety when you retrieve or edit it in the future. Instead of the entire
number, you will only see asterisks and either the first four digits or the
last four digits of your number.
o
Vendors and Partners BIDUX works
with vendors and partners to protect the security
and
privacy of user information.
o

security that is required of every BIDUX employee.
