Initiatives Reinforce Monetate's Dedication to the EU Market's Defense of Consumer Privacy


PHILADELPHIA, PA--(Marketwire - Aug 23, 2012) - Monetate, a leading provider of cloud-based technology for online marketers, announced today that it has achieved Safe Harbor Certification, a designation that ensures compliance with the European Union's Directive on Data Protection for EU-based companies.

The rapidly expanding online testing and personalization firm strengthened its presence in EMEA earlier this year with the opening of an office in London, under the leadership of Mike Harris, Vice President, EMEA.

"Monetate is dedicated to our expansion in Europe, and the Safe Harbor Certification allows us to serve our overseas customers while keeping them compliant with the Directive on Data Protection," said Harris.

In addition to its Safe Harbor Certification, Monetate's platform allows its customers to comply with the "Do Not Track" provisions of the Obama Administration's "Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights," a framework for protecting consumer privacy in the online world. With this capability, Monetate ensures that its customers are prepared to implement recommended privacy guidelines.
