Leading global provider of hosted online schools shows commitment to privacy protection

Portland, OR (PRWEB) March 11, 2010 -- Educadium, developer of the EasyCampus Virtual School Builder platform used by learning organizations around the world, announced today that it has been certified to display the TRUSTe EU Safe Harbor Privacy Seal. TRUSTe, the leading online privacy seal and trust assurance service, awards its privacy seal only to companies that pass a rigorous certification process and comply with ongoing oversight, including TRUSTe's dispute resolution process.

"As a certified TRUSTe member, we send a clear signal to EasyCampus users that Educadium is a trustworthy partner and respects international standards for privacy and data collection,” said Educadium President Todd Harris. “We’re proud to join many of the world’s leading organizations that protect the privacy of their customers with TRUSTe.”

The TRUSTe EU Safe Harbor Seal is a recognized symbol of trust among consumers and broadcasts a Web site’s commitment to protecting the privacy of European visitors through compliance with the EU-US Safe Harbor Framework and participation in TRUSTe’s Watchdog Consumer Dispute Resolution service. The EU-US Safe Harbor Framework was developed by the U.S. Department of Commerce in concert with the European Commission to provide a framework for U.S. companies to comply with EU privacy directives protecting the personal information of European citizens.
