Standards and Verification

SecureLook® certification for online businesses is important to create a transparent model for trust for online transactions. The purpose is to ensure that customers and/or users gain confidence by doing business with companies that are committed to providing secure transactions. Holders of a SecureLook® Certification demonstrate their commitment to customers and the online business community at large.

SecureLook® objectives are to define a set of inclusive yet stringent business standards that benefit companies as well as consumers. The underlying philosophy is to create and sustain a competitive, innovative and quality-driven approach to business. You may view the standards below. Each applicant is screened and verified by a SecureLook® representative according to the application criteria. The purpose of the Application is to verify business legitimacy.

After a company is verified by our staff and meets the SecureLook® standards, instructions on how to apply the SecureLook® digital seal to the company's web site are emailed to the email address of the contact person listed on the application. The SecureLook® URL identified on the application is entered into the SecureLook® database. Visitors to a SecureLook® member's web site will be able to "click" on the seal and receive real-time authentication from www.SecureLook.com only.

SecureLook® is dedicated to maintaining the free spirit of the Internet and creating an environment which allows all quality businesses, large or small, to prosper. Transparency is important to establish an atmosphere of trust and confidence and disclosure of a company's business information is as essential to this process as secure encryption technology. SecureLook® does not compare or rate online businesses with respect to their products and services. The sole objective is to certify that online businesses have met the SecureLook® standards in order to protect consumers and contribute to industry confidence in doing business online.

Standards for consideration and approval for SecureLook® Certification include:

· SSL, PGP encryption capability
· Proof of Organization
· Tax-identification number (or the international equivalent)
· Vendor or supplier reference as an established entity
· Financial Institution and proof of a valid bank account.
