This post is not to say that any site that is not validated is not a legitimate site, because
we have many sites out there that are not validated, yet are legitimate and honest with whatever
they do. what I want to talk about is how to identify the sites that have passed through the process of validation, and are certified to be legitimate sites on the web.
That said, the process is such that when a site owner and the managers are committed to
earning their consumers' trust and build credibility for the site, willingly sign-up with an independent
third party company, for a fee, to verify the site's important information, such as the site's office
address, phone numbers, e-mail address, postal address, and also the privacy-policy of the site.
The reason for this verifications is to ascertain if the informations submitted by the site owner
are true and to evaluate the privacy-policy of the site, if it ensures the protection of the visitors
and consumers' private and personal informations, such as, e-mail, password, and credit-card details submitted by consumers on the site to facilitate their businesses.
When the third party company completes the verification process, contacting the site owner,
and the managers, confirming the site informations to be true, and the privacy-policy to conform
with international best practices, the third party company will then certify the site as being a
legitimate site by posting their Logo on the site as a seal of approval for a period of time during
which they will continue to monitor the site's compliant to all these best practices.
When on such a site, and you click on the validation logo,you will see the detailed
information about the validation.
Have a pleasant experience on the web.
Best Regards.
