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

How much information is collected when visiting a web site? What information
is available for sale about you and your family? What is the marketing industry
telling Congress? How much information do credit bureaus and database companies have
about you and is it for sale? To Whom? Is the information about you correct?
Consumer.Net is trying to help answer these questions and make the information
available to consumers. The Consumer.Net Opt-Out page provides information on being
removed from telemarketing/junk mail lists, the release of your home address by state
motor vehicles, and provides information on credit bureaus and database/list companies.

up in your email box, or on your favorite newsgroup. The activities of a small number of
people are becoming a bigger problem for the Internet. We have been actively engaged in
fighting spam for years. Since we presented this site to the public in 1996, we have been
pleased to be referenced as one of the best anti-spam sites on the net. Help fight spam to
keep the Internet useful for everyone.
