Your trust is very important to us. Please find below a description of our privacy policy and some
security procedures that we use. We hope you find this information helpful in making your online
experience with us at utah.gov a positive one.
Privacy:
The One Stop Business Registration application abides by the State of Utah privacy policy. The privacy
policy statement is located at: http://www.utah.gov/privacypolicy.html
The policy assures that personally identifiable information collected on state websites are private unless
certain types of information are treated differently, and a statement to that effect is contained in a
separate notice.
PRIVACY NOTICE: The names and addresses you provide for your company's registered agentA person or business authorized to accept service of process for a business. The registered agent must have a Utah street address for service of process., officers,
principalAn applicant, owner, officer, director, trustee, incorporator, organizer, member, manager, partner, or any other position named on a statutory filing.s, applicant manager, and others are public information whether it is submitted online or through
paper channels. This information by law is available to the general public upon request and also from the
Utah Division of Corporations & Commercial Code's website at: www.commerce.utah.gov/cor
A street address is required for registered agentA person or business authorized to accept service of process for a business. The registered agent must have a Utah street address for service of process.s. However, for the purpose of protecting your privacy,
you may choose to provide the physical business entity address rather than that of the agent's personal
residence. For company officials such as officers, principalAn applicant, owner, officer, director, trustee, incorporator, organizer, member, manager, partner, or any other position named on a statutory filing.s, and others, post office box addresses are
permitted.
Address changes may be made at the time of your business registration renewal, or by downloading an
address change form through the Utah Division of Corporations & Commercial Code.
Security:
The OneStop Business Registration online application resides on a highly secure server. We use a universal
Internet technology called Secure Socket Layer (SSL). When you send information from your computer to our
servers at utah.gov it is encrypted (locked) so that the information is protected during its transmission.
What is SSL and just how safe is it?
SSL uses what is referred to as 128-bit encryption. It is the highest level of protection possible for
Internet communications, including your credit card and financial transactions.
The longer the lock or number (on a physical safe it could be described as a safe's combination) that is
generated during an online session, the more difficult it is to break the encryption code, and that is
what keeps your information secure during its transmission. Older browsers support a 40-bit (shorter
number) encryption session.
According to Versign, Inc. a leader in digital trust and security services, 128-bit encrypted messages
are: "…309,485,009,821,345,068,724,781,056 times harder to break than 40-bit messages. Thus, it
would take the same technology used to crack the 40-bit message 1 trillion x 1 trillion years to crack a
128-bit message. That's several trillion times longer than the age of the Earth."
How do I know SSL is "turned on" and working?
First, look for the "s" in the website address as in https://secure.utah.gov
When you are at a website where you plan to transmit secure information, most Internet web browsers will
contain a picture of a lock somewhere in the button bar near the bottom of the browser window. It should
look something like the picture below.
As an added protection when you connect to our services, utah.gov applications provide reminders and an
easy to use way to upgrade your browser to a 128-bit version. We recommend that you do so. Nevertheless,
our applications will still work with 40-bit encryption browsers.
