There are companies, such as e.g. VeriSign, that test whether websites that offer items against payment, have taken all reasonable measures to ensure the privacy of such financial information, such as credit card info, social security number, etc.\nMany online vendors use the marks and emblems to show that their websites are secure. Although there are regretfully some that just add the marks to their site without having undergone the testing.\nIf you are not sure about a certain site, you could always go to the website of the company, whose mark/emblem is displayed and investigate the vendor in question. You should either be able to obtain enough info to put your mind at ease or to tell you to best leave that particular one be.

Because it gives a creditor a "snapshot" of the company's financial health (assets, liabilities, owner's equity). \n\nAlso, at my bank the owner has to sign the F/S stating that it is "true and accurate". If any of the info proves to be otherwise, then the person/company has presented fraudulent/misleading info to a federally insured institution and that opens up a Pandora's box of problems for the person/company including possible "criminal liability".

If it is just transactional, then they don't get any information regarding anything other than what they need to conduct the transaction.\n\nHowever, the poster Steve S. is completely wrong in telling you they don't share your information.\n\nBanks and other finanical institutions have the right to share some of your personal information with other companies.\n\nUnder the Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999 (also known as Gramm Leach Bliley), financial instituions like banks have the right to share your information with other companies UNLESS you specificially tell them not to....in other words, you have to opt out.\n\nSteve's post indicates you have to opt-in and that's just not true.\n\nWhat he is talking about is getting credit information from your credit file, which is governed by a separate law known as the FCRA or Fair Credit Reporting Act....which is an opt-in.\n\nBut applying for credit such as what his post alludes to and using credit to make payments are two very different things in the eyes of the law.\n\nCompanies like eBay can easily buy information about you from any number of data vendors like Choice Point and Axciom, which have very, very detailed dossiers about you and your preferences and your buying habits including your use of credit.

I have - and it sounds quite fishy. I remember a thread from the Vanguard Diehards forum. I have linked it below. I hope this helps:\n\nhttp://socialize.morningstar.com/NewSocialize/Asp/FullConv.asp?forumId=F100000015&convSeqNumber=53342&mrr=1158983820

Well repo-men really try to make it so that they don't ever have to do this.  Mostly they wait till very early morning or late at night to do that so they don't have to put up with people.  \n  They are authorized agents of the bank and are just doing their jobs.  Your rights are limited in this matter.

Some do... at the FatWallet forums (which I'll link to), they've compiled a list of the financial institutions (as well as some other companies) that are known to do a "hard pull" on your credit report (which messes it up) for non-credit accounts.\n\nhttp://www.fatwallet.com/forums/messageview.php?start=0&catid=52&threadid=260724

They might have it in the footnotes somewhere, or it might be listed in the text, but that's kind of rare.  Worse case, you could probably email/call up their investor relations department and just ask.

Surely, the existence of merchant accounts overseas is normal, but I'd be cautious about working with someone who is offering services as an offshore entity unless you're confident they are a legitimate entity.  There's lots of room for fraud, going this route.

Remember fraud and thievery have been around for a long time. No law can prevent these from happening. All it can do is to catch the thieves and punish them. If you look at Enron, Worldcom etc., the law worked. May be we should look at instilling a sense of honesty and integrity in present and future leaders of business.\n\nSarbox is fine. Those who cry "overregulation" want to dilute it.\n\ncc

If you don't want to leave a 'trail' use cash or check then! The short answer to your question is YES there is always something showing up on your statement...it depends on what the 'business' calls itself to the bank....It may be a florist called Rosie's from Interflora which may show as Rosie's Florist or Interflora.....it totally depends on what the company wants to be known as on transactions and what the Bank abreviates their name to.....\n\nHaving bought many things online with credit cards there is always some reference back to that transaction.
