Online privacy remains in a period of tremendous change, with rapid growth in mobile, online behavioral advertising (OBA) and other innovative tracking technologies that are transforming the collection and use of customer data. TRUSTe hopes the series will serve as a catalyst to help drive continued advances in how businesses collect and use customer information while building trust and driving engagement online.

"In celebrating our 15-year anniversary this year, we've thought a great deal about the progress that's been made and believe that by working together - as these pioneers and mavericks have done - we can have a bigger impact. Our goal with this series is to remind the industry of what we've achieved and to share valuable insight and perspective from these leaders to help us address emerging new challenges."
Privacy Heroes Make a Difference for Businesses and Consumers
