What is a TRUSTe Web Privacy Seal?
TRUSTe is an independent organization that works to protect the privacy of consumers by serving as a consumer advocate in privacy-related issues. When you see the TRUSTe Web Privacy Seal, you know the website you’re visiting has been certified by a third party, and that they’re implementing effective measures and policies to protect your privacy and the security of any information you submit online. If a privacy concern does arise for any reason, TRUSTe can help to mediate the situation on your behalf. The TRUSTe Web Privacy Seal has been awarded to over 1800 websites and online businesses in 2007, and TRUSTe resolves thousands of individual privacy disputes every year.
