How does PayPal safeguard your personal information?

• PayPal automatically encrypts your personal information in transit from your computer to ours using the Secure Sockets Layer protocol (SSL) with an encryption key length of 128-bits. Even before you 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 protected. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that comply with federal regulations to guard your information. Our servers sit behind an electronic firewall and are NOT directly connected to the Internet, so your personal information is available only to authorized computers.
  
  
• Only authorized employees are permitted to access customer information. Authorized employees have been trained on how to handle information properly and are subject to strict limitations and guidelines in the handling of that information.
