Are there any special requirements for presenting legal disclosures over the web?
As with paper transactions, an organization must still prove that it presented consumers with the government-mandated disclosures in the required format and within the required timeframe. In addition, the merchant must be capable of demonstrating that the consumer has consented to receiving disclosures electronically, and that he/she can access the information in the electronic format provided. Delivering disclosures via your Web site requires more than simply posting disclosures on a Web page. Evidence of the entire disclosure delivery process, including how the disclosure was rendered to the consumer’s browser, and which actions the consumer took, must be securely stored in a single audit trail.
