Common Sense Privacy Seal
A New Standard in Privacy Protection
What The Seal Stands For
Companies with the Seal follow best practices when it comes to consumers' top privacy concerns. They provide transparency around key issues so consumers can make informed choices. The Seal is backed by Common Sense Media's database of best privacy practices - the largest in the world
Privacy Best Practices
To earn the Common Sense Privacy Seal, companies must follow these key privacy principles:
Why Privacy Matters
As consumers become increasingly concerned about how their personal data is used, they demand greater control over their information. Educational, health, and financial tools must protect sensitive data from being shared with online platforms or used for tracking.
Benefits for Consumers
Most people lack the time or expertise to read through dense privacy statements. The Seal provides peace of mind at a glance, filling the knowledge gap and letting users know they're engaging with a privacy-conscious company.
Benefits for Businesses
Companies that prioritize privacy build stronger relationships with users. The Seal helps businesses stand out, demonstrate their commitment to customer privacy, and gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace.
How to Earn the Seal
Companies must undergo a comprehensive evaluation using a 200+ question rubric. They engage directly with our privacy analysts and commit to regular policy updates and monitoring to maintain their status as privacy leaders.
