MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Oct. 17, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gigya , a leader in customer identity and access management (CIAM), today announced that it will be showcasing its new Gigya Enterprise Preference Manager product at the SAP ® Hybris ® Live: Global Summit , Oct. 17 to 19 in Barcelona, at stand P23.
Also, Gigya CEO Patrick Salyer will speak at the summit in a session titled “Fuel Trusted Customer Relationships with Personalization, Preference & Privacy” on Wednesday, October 18, at 17:00.
Gigya Enterprise Preference Manager , available now, is a complete solution for centrally managing all aspects of customer preference and consent settings. These approvals – from terms of service acceptance at initial registration, to opting to receive marketing communications such as newsletters and promotions – are stored as secure and audit-ready records. Customers are given control of their experience through a preference center that makes it easy for them to review, change, delete or export any profile data, consent to agreements or communication preferences they have given to an organization.
GDPR and other privacy regulations around the world are intended to restore consumer control over their digital identities and enhance the security of their data. Enterprise Preference Manager helps organizations meet these requirements with:
- Preference and consent capture. Organizations can automate the presentation and recording of consent to agreements for terms of service, privacy policies, cookies, marketing communications and custom activities.
- Version control. Up-to-date records of consent can be maintained for all customers, with tracking of consent history and automated triggering of consent renewals when required.
- Enforcement of consent. Consent and preference records can be synchronized with downstream applications, so that marketing campaigns stay compliant across all brands and channels.
- Self-service preference center. Customers are given easy access to view, change, export or remove their information, including personal data, consent to agreements and communication preferences and frequency (such as subscriptions to monthly newsletters or weekly special offers).
- A secure data vault. Customer consent and preference data is stored securely in a cloud-based vault, where it is always available for regulatory reviews, such as the data protection impact assessments (DPIAs) mandated under GDPR.
Beyond meeting regulatory requirements, Enterprise Preference Manager can help organizations respond to the rising expectations of customers for their personal information to be respected and under their control. A recent Gigya survey found that 68 percent of consumers in the United States and the United Kingdom don’t trust brands to handle their personal information appropriately. Giving customers transparent access and control is the first step in rebuilding trust.
“GDPR and similar regulations are an ideal opportunity to turn regulatory requirements into great customer experiences,” said Patrick Salyer, CEO of Gigya. “Respecting consumer privacy is not just the law; it’s the right thing to do. Our goal with Gigya Enterprise Preference Manager is to make it easy for our clients to meet legal requirements for data privacy and protection, while also giving customers control over their personal information and at the same time enabling the personalized experiences they crave.”
