"We have worked diligently to earn the TRUSTe Trusted Download Certification for our proprietary install system," stated Andy Johnson, CEO of W3i Holdings, LLC. "With TRUSTe certification we demonstrate to consumers and business partners our continual commitment to online privacy and conducting business in a trust-worthy environment."

"InstallIQ™ differs from the Wise or Install Shield installer systems as it offers publishers and users more options during the installation process," comments Hayden Creque, VP and General Counsel. Hayden spearheaded W3i's team in applying and receiving TRUSTe certification. "We recognize TRUSTe as the online privacy leader, and the importance that our unique installation tool met their stringent requirements so it could carry the TRUSTe Trusted Download seal."

"The companies whose applications have passed the challenging certification process for the Trusted Download whitelist are all demonstrating a commitment to protecting consumer privacy," said Fran Maier, executive director and president of TRUSTe. "By completely informing users about the particulars of the downloads they offer up front, the participating companies are increasing transparency and giving control to users."
TRUSTe offers a Whitelist of Certified Applications so businesses can direct advertising dollars and distribution opportunities to downloadable desktop software that provide clear and conspicuous notice about functionality of importance to the user and obtain informed consent prior to download. Certified applications provide an easy-to-use uninstall and allow users to maintain control over their computing environment.
