Marketfish Sets Security and Online Privacy Standards in List Marketing With New Alliances
TRUSTe Certification and OTA Membership Underscore Company's Commitment to Best Practices Adoption Across the Industry
(firmenpresse) - SEATTLE, WA -- (Marketwire) -- 09/13/11 -- Marketfish, a self-service for list marketing, today announced two new affiliations that position the company as a trailblazer in security and online privacy in list marketing. Now TRUSTe-certified and a member of the Online Trust Alliance (OTA), Marketfish tackles some of the industry's most complex business challenges with a commitment to best practices in securing customer data and ensuring privacy.
Privacy issues have historically plagued the list marketing industry, causing widespread mistrust among targeted customers. In an effort to stem these sentiments and restore customer trust, Marketfish has aligned with TRUSTe, the leading Internet privacy services and seal provider, and OTA, the global industry association committed to advancing best practices and enhancing consumer trust in online services.
"Our alliances with TRUSTe and OTA reflect our unwavering commitment to keeping customer data secure," said Dave Scott, CEO of Marketfish. "With the TRUSTe certification and OTA membership, we are pushing the parameters of the list marketing industry as a whole to become safer and adopt sustainable best practices and transparency."
"Our association with OTA and TRUSTe bring tremendous value to Marketfish and our customers," said David Fowler, chief privacy officer of Marketfish. "By aligning with the OTA and TRUSTe principles, we illustrate our deep commitment to privacy, and take a proactive stance in reforming the complexities associated with ensuring privacy."
OTA develops and advocates policies, procedures and best practices around privacy for organizations, brands and consumers. As a member of OTA, Marketfish will participate in the ongoing industry dialogue around these important issues.
"Data breaches, lack of data stewardship and criminal activity plague the growth and vitality of online services," said Craig Spiezle, president and executive director of the OTA. "As Marketfish looks to deliver trusted communications to provide value to consumers and brands, they've indicated, through their leadership, that trust is a key component in their efforts. Their participation is vital to the trust ecosystem, which in turn is the foundation of our online economy."
TRUSTe provides Internet privacy certification and compliance solutions to help businesses promote online safety and trust. The TRUSTe trustmark guarantees that a company's data management policies and procedures have been reviewed and meet TRUSTe's program standards, which are based upon a combination of privacy frameworks such as the US-EU Safe Harbor, regulatory guidelines such as the Fair Information Practice Principles, industry standards and reports, such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology privacy and security report, and client and expert review. By displaying the TRUSTe trustmark, Marketfish signals its dedication to ensuring the privacy and security of its customers, providing them with an important value proposition.
"Being able to ensure privacy is especially critical to both our clients and ultimately the businesses and end users they serve," said Fran Maier, President of TRUSTe.
