Data Security
and Encryption
The security of your information,
transactions, and money is the core of our business and our top priority at PayPal.
PayPal automatically encrypts your confidential information in transit
from your computer to ours using the Secure Sockets Layer protocol (SSL) with
an encryption key length of 128-bits (the highest level commercially available).
Before you even register or log in to our site, our server checks that you're
using an approved browser - one that uses SSL 3.0 or higher.
Once your information
reaches us, it resides on a server that is heavily guarded both physically and
electronically. Our servers sit behind an electronic firewall and are not directly
connected to the Internet, so your private information is available only to authorized
computers.
What does it mean to be Verified?
A Verified member maintains a confirmed bank account on
our site. Because International members cannot use our verification system, no
International member will have a Verified status.
Why
does PayPal ask its members to become Verified?
PayPal
encourages members to become Verified to increase trust and safety in our community.
Because financial institutions are required by law to screen account holders,
PayPal's verification process increases security when you pay parties you do not
know. Please note that PayPal's verification system does not constitute an endorsement
of a member, nor a guarantee of a member's business practices. You should always
consider other indicators when evaluating members, including length of PayPal
membership and reputation scores (on eBay or other auction sites, if applicable).
