Trusted Download is a whitelist of software that is safe for consumers and spyware-free. Businesses may use the whitelist to direct distribution opportunities and, where applicable, advertising dollars towards downloadable software that demonstrates informed consumer choice, doesn't exhibit surreptitious activities and gives control back to users.
The Trusted Download Program certifies that a software application provides users clear and conspicuous notice about advertising, tracking behavior, data collection and other software behaviors. Certified applications also must obtain informed consent prior to download, provide an easy-to-use uninstall and control over software operations.
