TRUSTe Partners with Haymarket to Provide the Media Group with Data Privacy Best Practice Solutions
TRUSTe will initially partner with Haymarket to ensure privacy best practices on their top ten UK consumer and B2B websites.
- (1888PressRelease) November 10, 2012 - Haymarket Media Group has chosen TRUSTe's comprehensive range of data privacy management solutions to ensure compliance, build consumer trust and demonstrate accountability and privacy best practices to the many millions of users who visit their websites each day. Haymarket joins other leading international media companies such as The New York Times, Forbes, IDG and Guardian News & Media, who have also chosen TRUSTe's data privacy solutions for their business.
TRUSTe will initially partner with Haymarket to ensure privacy best practices on their top ten UK consumer and B2B websites including Pistonheads, What Car? and Brand Republic. TRUSTe will conduct comprehensive audits of the tracking activities on these websites and use the TRUSTed Consent Manager to give users control over the cookies on each site to ensure compliance with the EU Cookie Directive.
A TRUSTe survey of top 231 websites in August showed that 12% had implemented robust cookie compliance solutions, 51% had taken some steps to comply with the Directive, and 37% were yet to take any visible action.
TRUSTe are also certifying the privacy practices on Haymarket's top ten websites. Once certified, these websites can display the green TRUSTe Certified Privacy Seal which independent research has shown to be the number one privacy trustmark in the UK with 50% consumer awareness. As part of its certification services TRUSTe also offers a third party dispute resolution service, which gives customers someone to turn to and businesses a route to swiftly resolve disputes, minimising the need for regulator intervention. Last year, TRUSTe successfully handled over 8500 customer privacy disputes. In 2013 the programme will be rolled out and TRUSTe will audit and certify a further 200 of the Haymarket Media Group's websites.
Danilo Labovic, EMEA MD for TRUSTe, said: "Leading international publishers are at the forefront of managing consumer data within their business and own some of the most visited and tracked websites in the world. At TRUSTe, we have worked closely with our publishing clients, to ensure that we have used our privacy expertise to develop a range of products and solutions which best meet this sectors' privacy needs."
Debbie Prewett, Data Group Manager for the Haymarket Media Group said: "After detailed consideration we believe that TRUSTe is the only company to have the privacy expertise, consumer brand and comprehensive range of products to meet our customer and compliance needs. We see this as the start of an important partnership to ensure that protecting our users privacy is at the heart of our systems and processes. Visitors will be able to see this commitment through the TRUSTe Certified Privacy Seal which will be displayed on our websites as we complete the certification programme."
