Privacy Online Program
The
ESRB Privacy Online program exists to help its members comply with the
growing complexity of privacy protection laws, while continually striving
to help make the Internet a secure, reliable and private place to share
information and conduct business.
Established in 1999, ESRB Privacy Online was among the first privacy seal programs sanctioned by the Federal Trade Commission as an authorized “Safe Harbor" under the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”), an endorsement that helps shield our members from potential sanctions and fines. We actively monitor over 400 websites and have unique experience dealing with issues relevant to the interactive entertainment software industry.
We work closely with our members to meet their privacy objectives and overcome the everyday practical hurdles that companies face in developing and implementing responsible online privacy practices. We require all members to comply with our Program Requirements and we actively enforce them. For more information on becoming a member of ESRB's Privacy Online program, please click here.
When surfing the Internet, look for the seals below, identifying certified and actively monitored ESRB Privacy Online member websites.
