The Trustpilot ratings are based on a variety of reviews and media stories that are collected from the web and then analyzed.

TrustWatch is a toolbar for Internet Explorer, that lets consumers know if the web site they are visiting has been verified by a Trusted Third Party authority, like GeoTrust, Verisign, TRUSTe and others, or if it is contained in a blacklist of known sites.
