Cookies are small pieces of information that some Web sites store on your computer's
hard drive when you visit them. Like many other Web sites,
UKuBid
uses cookies to identify members so they do not have to enter a user id and password
upon each visit. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies but allow you to
modify security settings so you can approve or reject cookies on a case-by-case
basis.
UKuBid uses cookies in a limited way. Cookies
enable us to deliver content specific to your interests; they also tell us if you
are using a browser that may not be compatible with our service.
Some of our sellers and service affiliates use "cookies". Because we do not control
the privacy policies of these non-UKuBid Web sites
to which we may provide hyperlinks, you should check the privacy policy of sites
you visit if you have concerns about their use of cookies.

UKuBid gives high priority to protecting the
privacy of your personal information and the security of your transactions. Among
our many safety measures, we use the most secure server technology.
Certain browsers and computers have the ability to communicate securely by scrambling
(or encrypting) the information as it passes across the Internet. This method of
communication is called SSL, or Secure Socket Layer. We require the use of a secure
browser before a connection can be made to the registration system.
We recommend that you use one of the two most popular browsers for your online sessions.
If you are not currently using the most up-to-date versions of Microsoft Internet
Explorer or Netscape Navigator, we urge you to upgrade now. When choosing a browser,
make sure that you download and install a 128-bit version. The description provided
by Netscape or Microsoft will ensure that you get the right one.
Security breaches may occur whenever you communicate over the Internet even with
the most secure sites, and use of our site is at your own risk. By using
UKuBid,
you acknowledge that you are aware of security and privacy limitations, including
but not limited to: (1) the limitation of security, privacy and authentication measures
and features in this system; (2) that data or information on the service may be
subject to eavesdropping, sniffing, spoofing, forgery, spamming, "impostering,"
tampering, breaking passwords, harassment, fraud, electronic trespassing, hacking,
nuking, system contamination (including, without limitation, viruses, worms and
Trojan horses) causing unauthorized, damaging or harmful access and/or retrieval
of information and data on your computer, as well as other security or privacy hazards;
and (3) that data may not reach its destination or may reach an erroneous address
or recipient, and agree to hold harmless UKuBid
for any actual or consequential loss or damages related to the aforementioned privacy
and security limitations or breach thereof.

You should also be aware that there may be occasions where we are legally required
to disclose information about you, such as in a response to (1) a court summons
(2) to prevent fraud or (3) to comply with a legally permitted inquiry by a government
agency or regulator. By registering with UKuBid
you consent to the release of your information such as, but not limited to, your
full name, mailing address, telephone number and email address. Even if you have
elected to opt out certain pieces of your personal information may need to be disclosed
such as but not limited to your name, mailing address and telephone number. Although
most data remains private and any request for disclosure will have to satisfy the
DPA exemptions; it may be from time to time that Law enforcement agencies request
information in order to detect or prevent a criminal act,
UKuBid
cannot and will not withhold information required under this DPA exemption.
