How to Know a Site is Genuine

There are heaps of Web sites over the Internet, that can bring you a abundance of information and expediency. Though, certain Web sites can request or asked about your personal information that you want to keep it private and rendering or expose your computer to software that contains loads of viruses or other security threats. So, how do decide which Web sites can be trustworthy ? It is quite difficult to be totally convinced with a Web site, but here is a few key things to hunt for.



The better way to understand it thoroughly before accessing a Web site. At the beginning, try to look for whether the Web site is certified by an Internet trust organization such as TRUSTe, BBBonline or WebTrust. Sites that demonstrate these above logos have permitted to follow certain practices like providing a comprehensive privacy statement. Go through this artcle systematically, then only you should be able to know more about a Web site which you can trust and which you don't.

First of all make sure that the site has valuable contents and after that seek out whether it is from an organization that you know and have already trust it before or from a widely well-known brand or institution. The site should make available a Terms of Use statement or a privacy statement.

Suppose, you want to access a new web site which you have never seen it before as well as it does not have a trust logo. Then be watchful and meticulously research the site before using its services. Research can include reading the site’s disclosures, asking friends and colleagues you trust and searching the Web for positive or negative articles about the site.

If you are asked by a private site to provide a personal data such as your password, credit card number, social security number or bank information. Respond only if there is an appropriate cause and if the site uses a assured technique to collect this data. Search for a declaration demonstrating this information will be encrypted or try to find the golden padlock symbol in your browser status area to point out that the information will be transferred using secure methods.

While making a online purchase from a Web site, make sure that the site has a return policy and that the terms are good enough to you.

Think twice of a Web site if .…
  • You proposed to the site by an e-mail from somebody.
  • The site contains offensive stuff such as pornography.
  • The site crafts seem too good. But, are they attempting to tempt you to their site ?
  • provide a credit card number, bank information.
  • There is no sign that the Web site make certain the transaction is safe.
