FAQs
Why display a website safety badge?
A website safety badge tells your consumers that the website they are visiting is truly representing the company or organisation it sets out to be. By seeing the badge, consumers feel safe that an independently body has verified the website information.
How can I get a website safety badge for my website?
The first step is to get your site whitelisted. All whitelisted sites will be invited to place the bronze website safety badge on their website.
After the badge is verified, typically within 1 week, we will award you a silver website safety badge.
The third step is to send us your website ownership verification documents. The instructions for this will be sent to you when you receive your silver badge. Upon verification of these documents, we will award you the gold website safety badge.
As a consumer, can I be sure that the website is not compromised when they display a website safety badge?
A website that displays the website safety badge has been verified as the legitimate website for a business. We, at Phish Alerts, do not do scans or security checks on the safety of the website transaction. What we aim to do is to inform you of websites that are legitimately owned or run by the entity that the website claims to be representing.
