WAYNE, PA and SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - February 16, 2010) - Kenexa (NASDAQ : KNXA ), a global provider
of business solutions for human resources, today announced that its Web
site has been certified to display the TRUSTe EU Safe Harbor Seal, which demonstrates
its global commitment to consumer trust and privacy online. TRUSTe, the
leading online privacy seal and trust assurance service, awards its privacy
seals only to companies that complete the rigorous TRUSTe certification
process and agree to comply with ongoing oversight and TRUSTe's consumer
dispute resolution process.
"With more people online now than ever before, the number of cybercriminals
trying to exploit consumer information has also grown to record numbers,
making third party trustmarks an essential tool for both consumers and
businesses," said Fran Maier, President and Executive Chair of TRUSTe. "By
becoming a TRUSTe sealholder, Kenexa gives its customers a clear signal
that it is trustworthy, safe, and respects the privacy wishes of the people
who visit its Web site."
The TRUSTe EU Safe Harbor Seal communicates that a Web site has committed
to protecting the privacy of EU 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 by which US companies may comply with EU privacy
directives protecting the personal information of European citizens.
"We are pleased to continue to partner with TRUSTe in increasing consumer
trust and following industry best privacy practices," said Rudy Karsan, CEO
of Kenexa. "TRUSTe certification serves as a benchmark in our ongoing
commitment to safeguard consumer trust."
Ongoing monitoring and the Watchdog Consumer Dispute Resolution
mechanism are cornerstones of the TRUSTe EU Safe Harbor Seal and Certification Program. Through
automated monitoring, TRUSTe systematically monitors the practices of seal
program participants to ensure ongoing compliance with program
requirements. TRUSTe also now offers Site Reputation Services, which uses
technology to regularly scan user-generated or third-party content for
potential malicious content before it's uploaded to a Web site to reduce
the risk of a malware attack. In addition, TRUSTe provides consumers and
organizations an effective, easy-to-use method to resolve privacy disputes
through its online Watchdog Dispute Resolution service. Every year TRUSTe
resolves over 5,000 privacy complaints filed by sealholders' customers.
