Why meeting APAC consumers’ expectations of data privacy is key to effective marketing

These days, we don't go anywhere without our mobile devices, so it's no surprise that data privacy is a top concern for many.

That's why we surveyed 16,500 people from 11 different markets across the APAC region, to learn more about how businesses using their data impacts them.

Results showed that 8 in 10 individuals confirmed that online privacy is important, and that they value the security of their personal information.

In fact, 70% of the surveyed APAC consumers would stop engaging with a brand in response to a violation of their trust around data.

More than 80% of consumers feel that transparency on their data is a must-have for a meaningful value exchange.

Consumers respond more positively when they've made memorable choices about data sharing.

Results showed that consumers with a higher sense of data control are more likely to explore the ads they saw.

So how can businesses help consumers have better control over their data?

Businesses can empower consumers by providing the right tools and information.

When businesses make the whole process manageable for their customers, that's when consumers feel less skeptical about digital marketing.

Everyone wants to be in control of the data that they're sharing.

Let's make it meaningful, memorable and manageable.
