Home Privacy Seals & Services Enterprise Privacy Trusted Download Program

Stand by your downloadable software

We at TRUSTe designed the Trusted Download Program (TDP) to:

• Empower consumers to make informed decisions about the software they download

• Establish industry-leading standards for developers who create the applications

• Identify and elevate trustworthy consumer applications for distributors and marketers

• Protect the valued brands of online advertisers by informing them about whether or not certain applications are trustworthy

How can the Trusted Download Program work for you?

Guidance for downloadable software developers on responsible behavior		A “whitelist” of certified applications that serves as a reference tool to distinguish responsible software applications
A Trusted Download Seal to display at the point of download so that consumers recognize your applications as responsible		Provides dispute resolution of consumer complaints about online data collection

TDP certification combines strict standards, thorough review, ongoing monitoring, enforcement mechanisms and powerful market incentives to ensure secure downloads. TDP-certified companies provide consumers with explicit disclosures and control mechanisms, easy uninstall, and respect for their personal information. Read the TDP program requirements.
