TRUSTe

We're Building Trust and Confidence on the Internet

TRUSTe is an independent, non-profit, privacy initiative dedicated to building users' trust and confidence on the Internet, and in so doing, accelerating growth of the Internet industry. We've developed a privacy program that bridges the gap between users' concerns over privacy and Web sites' desire for flexible disclosure standards.
