TRUSTe - Make Privacy Your Choice

For International Privacy, Look for the EU Safe Harbor Seal

Do you want to know if companies you do business with are acting in accordance with U.S. and European privacy standards? Look for the EU Safe Harbor Seal to ensure that companies are aligned with the Safe Harbor Program, a framework created by the U.S. Department of Commerce and European parties to avoid trade disruptions resulting from international privacy laws.

The seal's two key service offerings are:

  • Web Site Privacy Certification and Oversight – We certify the data gathering and dissemination practices of Web sites doing business with European citizens, as well as enforce privacy policies through quarterly monitoring.
  • Online and Offline Dispute Resolution – Through the TRUSTe® Watchdog program, we provide alternative dispute resolution for both Web-based and offline privacy-related disputes.

To know your privacy is safeguarded – in the U.S. and abroad – look for the TRUSTe EU Safe Harbor Seal. Learn more about specific program requirements.
