Security

Auctionex protects your information online by using industry standard encryption methods to prevent unauthorized access to content, data, and customer account information stored on our servers.

When you enter sensitive information (such as credit card number) on our registration or order forms, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). We encrypt personal information in our databases, and any sensitive transmission of passwords and authentication tokens are transmitted using HTTPS (SSL/TLS).

Auctionex and its service providers also maintain strict physical security at properties and facilities and only provide access to authorized personnel.

While we follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it, no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
