As a global leader in helping clients manage and disseminate consumer information, Arsenal Inc. has understood the importance of fair information practices and consumer privacy. Arsenal Inc. helps clients improve relationships with consumers by making individual recognition possible across the entire enterprise spectrum, including over the Internet, over the phone, through email, and in retail outlets. The growth of e-commerce and remote transactions means a company’s ability to know its audience also involves honoring individual preferences regarding privacy and security. Today, marketers are required by good corporate citizenship practices, and in some cases by legislation, to put procedures in place that enable individuals to control how, when and for what reasons companies communicate with them. Arsenal Inc.’s proprietary intelligence tools and advanced encryption methods ensure security.

These procedures also enable individuals to control how companies share data about them with others. With customer data often stored in different systems across a company and with potentially different spellings of names and addresses, it is difficult for most companies to establish or honor their commitments to consumers about how data about them will be used.
