How to Build Customer Trust With Transparent Data Usage

Transparent data usage has become essential to today's customers. When you implement a strong privacy policy that collects user consent, providing your customers with the ability to choose what data is used, shows your commitment to their customer rights.

Many customers still don't trust that brands will do the right thing with their data. At the same time, consumers know that their experience is improved through personalisation, which is provided by trusting their data to companies they want to work with. Trust remains a serious issue, often based on how transparent you are with your customers on how you use their data.

The Importance of Data Transparency

Today's consumers are aware that their data is collected and used online. Ninety three percent of consumers worry how secure their data is in the hands of businesses, which results in people abandoning forms and purchases, as they don't feel the brand can be trusted. 

Taking steps to protect user data is important to ninety seven percent of consumers.

What is Data Transparency?

Data transparency is being responsible for your users data. This means only taking what you need from them and using it ethically, while ensuring it is kept safe at all times. It also means complying with data privacy laws. 

Data Transparency Starts Internally

Before you implement any data collection, you need to create an ethical policy, governing how you design your site to your marketing. You need a data management policy that rules all your processes. This involves your legal, marketing, and IT teams, who need to collaborate to ensure your users data is kept safe, helping to build customer trust.

It's important to ensure you distribute your policy to all team members, ensuring that they understand it.  This includes any third parties you may work with.

Communicating Data Management to Your Audience

Your audience doesn't need you to spell out everything to do with their data, but what they do need to know is what data you are collecting and what is its purpose. They also need to know how you will manage and secure it.

This may involve publishing a detailed privacy policy on your website where users can identify how you collect their data, what data you collect and how you will or will not use it. Do not overcomplicate the policy, rather focus on including data securing management information, along with your compliance with regulations.

You will want to include a cookie consent notice on your website when you track users or directly collect their data. Always allow users to choose if they want to accept or reject the cookie tracking.

Conclusion

When it comes to user data, honesty goes a long way. It helps your customers know where they stand and what they have to gain by providing you with the data you request. A transparent data usage policy helps to build customer trust, encouraging them to complete the online form or purchase with confidence.
