Children’s seal holders also abide by the requirements of TRUSTe’s standard Web Privacy Seal Program, including ongoing site monitoring and privacy dispute resolution.

Monitoring and Scanning Ensures Compliance

TRUSTe uses a combination of tools including scanning technology and personal attention to monitor licensed sites for potential changes to their privacy practices. TRUSTe checks for items such as encryption measures on sensitive pages, undisclosed "cookies", or single-pixel tracking devices. Oftentimes, violations are unintentionally introduced when organizations update their pages, undergo changes in ownership, or launch new initiatives such as contests or newsletters.
