Buy products and contract services safely
Among the details that you should take into account when checking the veracity and trustworthiness of a site, these are some of the simplest that you can put into practice:
- HTTPS web pages, acronym in English for "secure hypertext transfer protocol", guarantee the secure transmission of data between servers and clients on the internet, an additional layer of security that protects the user against possible external attacks and fraud thus guaranteeing their Privacy. From now on, access only web pages whose URL begins with HTTPS if you are going to use the online services of that company, body or entity for the first time, especially if you are going to make an online purchase in which you must enter personal data and / or banking. In the case of e-commerce , look for the Confianza Online seal to check the reliability of the page.
- Before making a purchase or contracting of goods or services through a web page or filling in any type of form with personal information, make sure that the page in question provides a physical address, email or contact telephone number, and check that they really exist and respond to any need you may have.
- Read carefully the general contracting conditions of the website and the privacy policy of the site to know what treatment your personal data will receive.
- If you are not convinced by the page, seek the opinion of other users about it, you may be surprised to find testimony from other people warning of the fraud that this website constitutes.
- Discard those forms that ask for more information than is strictly necessary to make a contract or purchase. Provide only the data you consider appropriate and never provide a password or password.
- Keep documentation of all the operations you carry out online , you can use it as proof in case of scam, disagreements with the company that owns the page, breach of sales conditions, etc.
- Never carry out a purchase or contract in which you must report your personal or banking information through public Wi-Fi networks or without a password.
