What then are the advantages of my becoming a registered Vertoro user?
First, if you supply additional contact information such as a street address, phone number, AIM or ICQ, it can improve our ability to communicate with you about your orders. Second, registered users can upload their PGP public key onto our server. This allows our site and our personnel to encrypt all email communications with you using that key. Third, it makes us feel better about you as a customer. We absolutely understand about the need for privacy in today’s world. That’s why we allow you to do business with us while providing only an email address. But on the flip side, with all the fraud prevalent on the internet, we find it reassuring when customers are willing to tell us who they are. We also find it reassuring when customers upload a PGP key and we discover it is signed by another trusted customer. Rings of trust are very powerful.
