ReliableSite.org is an independent organization that accredits websites to ensure they meet certain standards of reliability, trustworthiness, and compliance. Once a site is accredited, it receives a ReliableSite seal that users can look for to know that the site is trustworthy.
By using sites with the ReliableSite seal, users can have greater trust and confidence in the information and services provided on the site. This can lead to increased safety, security, and peace of mind.
You can look for the ReliableSite seal on the site, which indicates that it has been accredited by ReliableSite.org. You can also search using our search tool for a site to see whether the site is accredited or not. However, not all sites are accredited, so the absence of the seal does not necessarily mean the site is not trustworthy.
The absence of the ReliableSite seal does not necessarily mean the site is not trustworthy. It simply means that the site has not been accredited by ReliableSite.org. Users should exercise caution when using any site, regardless of whether it has the ReliableSite seal or not.
No, ReliableSite.org is an independent organization that does not endorse or promote any particular website or brand.
ReliableSite.org checks and accredits sites on a regular basis, but the process can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks depending on the complexity and size of the site(s) being evaluated.
If a site fails to meet the accreditation standards, it will not receive the ReliableSite seal and will need to make changes in order to become accredited. ReliableSite.org will provide feedback and guidance to help the site improve.
