Collectors Book Market Security and Privacy Policy

Collectors Book Market is very concerned with security and privacy issues for our members and we have taken every step possible to insure your private information is secure, just as we would want our private information to be secure.

  • Transactions are direct between the buyer and seller.  We are only a marketplace.  Collectors Book Market requires that sellers and advertisers provide verifiable billing information and accept a strict Code of Ethics to participate.
     
  • All billing and credit card information is secured using a InstantSSL Security Certificate. (Double click on the lock icon when using a secure page to view our certificate details).
     
  • Email addresses are "hidden" and all inquiries and replies (except transactions) go through the internal Collectors Book Market secure email system.   No one will have access to your email address anywhere on the site unless you are involved in a purchase or you give it to them.  You have your own mailbox to keep track of your Collectors Book Market messages.

  • All Membership information is completely confidential and will never be sold, rented or distributed in any way.
     
  • The only 'cookies' we put on your computer are to keep you logged in or to remember your shipping and payment preferences so you don't have to re-enter them every time. 
     
  • We do not track, view or store any personal information about any individual visit.
Collectors Book Market Security Statement

Members can use a valid credit card or a verified Paypal account to verify their registration and to pay their accrued seller fees.  Buyers are never charged any fees, but they can use a credit card to verify their identity so they can have immediate access to bid or buy an item.  New registrations that do not supply valid credit card information will be temporarily delayed until the administrator can review their registration information to verify their identity.  Sellers will only be charged the stated fees for using our services.

All member financial and personal information is stored on our own privately owned, dedicated, unshared servers located locally within the United States. We use many different techniques to secure this data, and protect it from unauthorized access. These techniques include, among other things, multiple firewalls, multiple encryption technologies (including, but not limited to, our own SSL certificate), and extensive network auditing, monitoring, and surveillance.  We keep abreast of all security issues which impact our operations through all major 3rd-party information sources, and we will work closely with law enforcement to identify, pursue and prosecute anyone who attempts to violate our security. 
 
We require the use of a unique UserID and Password as a measure to help protect your confidential information. This process allows us to properly identify you as the account holder, and prevents unauthorized access to your information. If you use this site, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password and for restricting access to your computer.

Our security settings require all login and personal information to be sent via our secure server. Users who have their browsers set to be notified when they are entering or leaving a secure page will get the standard security alert box when they access the login page and when they leave the login page.  This is a higher security setting than most other sites, who only use their secure servers for billing information.

Our Senior Network Administrator has over 10 years of experience in the networking & Internet world. He has spent the last 6 years working as the System Administrator and Chief Security Officer for an established ISP. He is uncompromising about security.

Although 'perfect' security on the Internet is only a concept and no system is 100% secure from evolving security problems,  we are dedicated to constantly improving our security as new threats emerge. If you notice a security-related issue, and wish to report it, please contact our security staff at
security@collectorsbookmarket.com. We will respond in a timely fashion, and resolve any security issues as our top priority. 

If you have any questions or comment, please don't hesitate to contact us.
