From Visa Web Merchant News:
Effective 1 June 2001, all online Visa merchants must
post their privacy policy on their Web sites. Requiring
all Visa merchants globally to prominently post their
policy regarding use of non-public personal data will
instill confidence in consumers and complement Global
Payment's best practices recently set by the
Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development
(OECD).
