PORTLAND, OR--(Marketwired - Feb 25, 2015) - Janrain, the leading provider of Customer Identity Management technology, today announced they have been awarded the TRUSTe Certified Privacy Seal, signifying their platform fully complies with TRUSTe's industry-leading third party privacy best practices. TRUSTe is the leader in global Data Privacy Management, powering privacy compliance and trust by enabling businesses to safely collect and use customer data across their customer, employee, and vendor channels. Privacy and security have been important to Janrain since the company's inception as an outgrowth of their expertise on identity and authentication. Janrain's certification marks one of the first times TRUSTe has verified social data privacy.

"Research shows that consumers are more concerned about online privacy now than ever before," said Chris Babel, CEO, TRUSTe.

"Janrain has long supported open standards for identity, and we believe in openness and transparency with clients, end users, and other stakeholders," said Larry Drebes, CEO of Janrain. "It was important for us to work with a third party that promotes privacy with an open, best-practices approach. TRUSTe's certification enables us to drive engagement, adoption, and trust with current and prospective users."

The certification consists of the following standards:

• Ensures privacy measures are in place to protect any collected and stored data for services (such as websites and profiles)
