Trust You is a national trust mark awarded and overseen by the Malta Competition and Consumer Affairs Authority (MCCAA). It recognises businesses that voluntarily commit to, and comply with, the published requirements and standards established under the Scheme.
The Trust You mark is awarded and overseen by the MCCAA. Decisions on whether to award, refuse, suspend or revoke the mark are taken by the Trust You Committee based on the published criteria of the Scheme.
The mark indicates that a business satisfied the Scheme’s criteria at the time it was awarded and reflects the status currently shown on the Trust You public register. It serves as an indication of compliance with the Scheme’s requirements and should not be interpreted as an opinion about the business.
No. A current Trust You mark does not guarantee the outcome of any individual purchase. It also does not create, extend, limit or remove any rights and remedies that consumers have under applicable consumer protection laws.
