About taobao.com

taobao.com went online 23 years ago. It is hosted in China. It is one of the most visited websites worldwide (#457). None of the security databases we monitor list it. Its connection is encrypted (padlock in the address bar) — good, though scam sites can have this too. On the website we noticed: no imprint, legal notice or company information; no contact page, e-mail address or phone number; no privacy policy.
