Dépèche transmise le 28 mars 2011 par Business Wire

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As yet further indication of its commitment to privacy, enterprise-class DSP MediaMath has chosen Evidon as its preferred provider of compliance services for management of the Digital Advertising Alliance’s (DAA) Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising (OBA). The agreement brings Evidon’s Assurance Platform – Evidon InForm – to MediaMath’s TerminalOne® to simplify and speed compliance with OBA principles.

“MediaMath’s decision to work with Evidon reinforces its understanding of the importance of transparency and trust”

Evidon InForm enables simple and scalable implementation of the Advertising Option Icon into display ads and Web sites, and gives consumers access to and control over how information is collected and used – while providing the option of opting out altogether.

“MediaMath has and continues to far exceed the industry standards for self-regulation and this partnership is deeper indication of our unwavering commitment to protecting consumer privacy,” said Tom Craig, MediaMath’s chief privacy officer. “Evidon’s platform gives our clients an additional crucial element in the privacy value chain – compliance with the industry’s latest privacy guidelines – and because our clients take privacy seriously, we take it seriously too.”

Evidon is the first company designated by the DAA as an approved provider of compliance services for the Self-Regulatory Principles for OBA. This includes the ability to deliver the Advertising Option icon on behalf of companies that are participating in the self-regulatory program. The company’s Assurance Platform is operating at scale, delivering the Advertising Option Icon and corresponding notice in more than five billion monthly advertising impressions for leading brands.

“MediaMath’s decision to work with Evidon reinforces its understanding of the importance of transparency and trust,” said Scott Meyer, founder and CEO of Evidon. “DSPs are one of the fastest growing segments of the interactive media industry and having these companies advocate for industry self-regulation is a major coup for advancing the cause and preserving industry growth.”

Evidon is the leading technology company enabling online advertising transparency, in no small part through its leadership role in the Open Data Partnership (ODP). An alliance of online behavioral advertising companies, the ODP gives consumers access to and control over the information those companies have collected about their interests directly from an ad impression or publisher site that uses Evidon’s platform.
