Privacy And Trust: A Competitive
Advantage
• Trust Is Critical For Any Organization:
– How Do You Build It In To Your Processes,
Procedures, Services and Products?
• How Can You Design Products / Websites /
Programs By Asking:
– Does This Build Trust With Our Member?
• Privacy and Trust By Design

Best Practices For Organizations
Around Privacy and Trust
• Realize:
– No One Reads Your Privacy Policy
• Lawyers:
– Following the Letter of the Law is Not Enough
• Think “Does This Earn The Trust Of The
Customer?” vs. “How Do We Comply With
The Letter Of The Law?”
• Transparency is key

11/19/10 Dakin & Associates - @ShaunDakin 28


Be Clear And Use Real Language
• Ask: Do We Really Need To Collect This Data?
• Use Clear Communications Around Use Of Data
– No lawyers in the room, use writers, copy editors,
communications people
• Explain
– This is Why We Use Your Data
– This Is How We Use Your Data
– This is Where We Use Your Data
– This is Who We Share Data With
– This is How to Opt-Out

Don’t Fear The Opt Out - TRUSTe
①Goal – Provide enhanced notice outside
privacy policies
②Learning
① 2x consumers clicked on icon vs privacy policy
② Few consumers changed their preferences
③ Consumers valued the education and information
and were not as alarmed as expected
③Build Trust With Consumers

Privacy Crisis – “Run To The Crisis”
①Apologize, quickly
②Thank (Community) For Bringing Issue(s) To Your
Attention
③Separate the Organization From Any Wrongdoers
④Concrete Next Steps To Make Sure It Does Not
Occur Again
① Communicate To All Internal Stakeholders
② Consider A Special “hot-line” and website to deal with
questions
