Kenexa Becomes TRUSTe Sealholder, Demonstrates Commitment to Consumer Privacy Protection
WAYNE, Pa. (March 17, 2008) - Kenexa® (NASDAQ: KNXA), a leading provider of recruitment and retention solutions, today announced that its Web site has been certified to display the TRUSTe Privacy Seal, demonstrating its commitment to consumer privacy and trust online. TRUSTe, the leading privacy certification and seal program, awards its privacy seal only to companies that complete the rigorous TRUSTe certification process and agree to comply with ongoing oversight and TRUSTe’s consumer dispute resolution process.
“By becoming a TRUSTe sealholder, Kenexa gives its customers a clear signal that it is trustworthy and respects the privacy wishes of the people who visit its Web site,” said Fran Maier, executive director and president of TRUSTe. “Kenexa joins more than 2,000 organizations committed to building consumer trust online through participation in the TRUSTe Privacy Seal program.”
The TRUSTe Privacy Seal is one of the most recognized branded symbols of trust among consumers. The TRUSTe Privacy Seal communicates that a Web site has posted a privacy statement and that its information gathering and dissemination practices follow rigorous guidelines for notice, choice, access, security and redress outlined in the Federal Trade Commission’s Fair Information Practices. Specifically, TRUSTe sealholders agree to:
- Ensure that reasonable security practices are used to protect collected data;
- Disclose their information gathering and dissemination practices;
- Give consumers choice to limit any secondary uses of their personal information; and
- Provide users with the ability to keep their personal information accurate.
“We are pleased to join TRUSTe in advancing responsible information practices online,” said Jim Restivo, chief knowledge officer, Kenexa. “TRUSTe certification serves as a benchmark in our ongoing commitment to safeguard consumer privacy and security.”
