ADMA Announces New Privacy Laws

Monday, December 3rd, 2012

Big Changes on the Horizon for  Data-Driven Marketers

ADMA has announced that the new Australian Privacy law  passed by Parliament on Thursday is due to come into effect on 24 March 2013.

The law will introduce changes to how marketers and advertisers can collect, use, hold and disclose customer information and other personal information relating to prospects and individuals.

Due to ongoing lobbying by ADMA and ADMA member companies, the Government made some last minute changes to the new law before it was passed to reduce the impact of the legislation on marketers and advertisers. In particular, the Government:

  • - Removed the statement that DM is prohibited and replaced with a new statement that clarifies that DM is permitted within certain parameters.
  • - Reduced the requirement to include opt-out notices in all marketing communications.
  • - Limited the need to offer customers the ability to engage under a pseudonym.
  • - Reconfigured the requirements on overseas transfer of data.
  • - Extended the period of time that companies will be given to comply from 9 months to 15 months. (Starting 24 March 2013)

Although ADMA is pleased that the immediate issues facing marketers and advertisers were addressed, it considers that, in general, the law is out-of-touch and out-of-date and will become an increasing hindrance as we continue to move to a data-driven digital economy.

Also, there are still concerns with how the law will be interpreted and enforced. The remaining concerns include:

  • - The new definition of ‘personal information’ could result in the Privacy Act now applying to information that is currently not considered ‘personal’. For example, certain information collected through cookies and types of Big Data.
  • - The new rules require marketing communications to include an opt-out notice (including to existing customers) in all cases where the marketer has used data collected from a third party.
  • - This could include, for example, where a marketer has appended data to a customer database; extracted customer information from a social media site; or used behavioural data from a third party site.
  • - Fines of up to $1.1m apply and it remains unclear whether this is calculated on a per ‘incident’ or per ‘record’ basis.

ADMA will be drafting guidelines for marketers and advertisers to clarify the new law and assist with compliance and will also produce a webinar series and education course to assist businesses interpret the provisions and how they apply to traditional channels, online, social media and mobile.

3Di / IAB NZ Survey Shows 56 % of Kiwis Plan to Shop Online for Christmas

Monday, December 3rd, 2012

Reprinted from IAB.org.nz:

IAB New Zealand has released a survey providing insights on how New Zealanders plan to conduct their Christmas shopping this year. (The survey was conducted by 3Di).

Key findings show over half of those surveyed plan to do some of their Christmas shopping online with Books/DvDs/Games topping the gift giving list. Convenience was stated as the number one reason for grabbing a mouse rather than jumping in the car.

“It’s important retailers leverage online channels and recognise the consumer is becoming more sophisticated and connected. Online shopping is borderless and while convenience is cited as the number one reason to buy xmas presents online, price and range are also key factors. Businesses need to offer customers a seamless experience across multiple touchpoints and start their online campaigns early.” Laura Maxwell-Hansen, IABNZ Chair & general manager of Yahoo!New Zealand.

Comparison shopping is becoming more common with 14% using their mobile phone to compare products with other retailers before purchase.

Alisa Higgins, general manager of the Interactive Advertising Bureau says more and more comparison shopping is being done while the consumer is in the shop. “The internet has always been a great research tool and now we carry it around with us while we shop. With smartphone penetration at 41%, and estimating to grow to 50% early next year, mobile devices are changing the way consumers interact with retailers.”

New Zealanders use both local and international websites although 28% surveyed said they would stay local choosing to shop on websites like Trade Me. While many might worry we will end up with last years recycled gifts Craig Jordon, Head of Marketplace for Trade Me says, “It’s great to see so many Kiwis have Trade Me top of mind as they get cracking on their Christmas shopping. From an ecommerce point of view, we’ve been well-positioned as Kiwis have moved more and more of their purchasing online to take advantage of benefits such as increased convenience, choice, functionality and attractive pricing. New goods is a major focus for us at present, and with more than a million brand new items onsite it’s clear to see we’re not just a garage sale anymore.”

Recent research from Lassoo Media shows that New Zealand websites are regarded as extremely secure for online purchasing, with 80% saying they feel comfortable using them for shopping. However, buying from overseas sites is less favoured, with only 36% saying they’re happy to do so, while 28% weren’t comfortable at all.

The IAB/3DI survey also found that one third have already started their online Christmas shopping with the big rush expected between 1st and 15th of December.
