AOL Named Most Trusted Web Portal/ISP for Privacy in National Consumer Survey

In 2005, TRUSTe, the leading nonprofit organization promoting privacy in digital communications, and Ponemon Institute, a think tank dedicated to privacy and data protection research, said that AOL had been named the most trusted Web portal or ISP for privacy in an annual survey of U.S. consumers. More than 7,000 people were surveyed. AOL had the largest year-over-year increase in the rankings of any company in the survey.

Dr. Larry Ponemon, Chairman of the Ponemon Institute, said, “AOL’s efforts in raising awareness and understanding about good privacy and data protection on the Internet are paying off in terms of positive consumer perception. This is an especially significant accomplishment given the rash of privacy issues such as phishing and spam that impact the ISP industry.”

“It is also good news for trust in the Internet overall when AOL can offer a reassuring online experience to its customers,” said Fran Maier, Executive Director and President of TRUSTe.
