Companies frequently work with third party service providers, such as marketing partners, payments processors and others to support their business and customers. These contractual relationships often require a service provider to collect, store, and transmit sensitive end user data on behalf of their business customer, who expects their data will be protected in third-party hands with standards that match or exceed their own.

Doing Business Internationally? 

TRUSTed Cloud Data Privacy Certification is an especially attractive option for service providers who operate in the European Union (EU) as both a company and its service provider are subject to European Union Safe Harbor Principles when handling EU customer data. TRUSTe certification can ensure that both a company’s website and the service or product platform are EU Safe Harbor compliant.

Service providers that use cloud computing to deliver their services have added complexity to their data infrastructure and the threshold to winning a potential customer’s trust with their data can be significantly higher. TRUSTed Cloud Data Privacy Certification is equipped to certify the privacy practices of cloud companies and can help them reassure clients and customers of the strength of their data management practices.
