Comment on Toyota advertising case raises privacy issues by Evan Kuz

Evan Kuz — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 21:14:46 +0000

This is a great example of where marketing is going. As someone in the advertising industry, seeing how anyone can easily start to target individuals (rather than broad audiences) using social media, I think we’re going to see some interesting campaigns put forth. Many of course will cross the line in terms of respecting people’s privacy. Enforcing PIPEDA and demonstrating that its purpose is serious is going to become even more necessary, in my opinion, sooner than later.

Comment on I don’t want ANY spam! Misconceptions and marketing research by Brian Bowman

Brian Bowman — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 14:37:51 +0000

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Neil. I think if you read my post in detail you’ll see that I said that “legitimate marketing research organizations do not try to sell products or services (in fact, if they are members of Canada’s Marketing Research and Intelligence Association (the “MRIA”), they are bound by a professional code of conduct which expressly prohibits such activities).” The key term is “legitimate” and I’ve stressed that those organizations that are members of Canada’s MRIA are bound by a professional code of conduct that deals with many of the points you’ve raised, namely the need for consent. I fully agree with you that permission is everthing, not just to meet legal requirements but also to meet the expectations of those being contacted. Again, thanks for reading and commenting on the post Neil!

Comment on I don’t want ANY spam! Misconceptions and marketing research by spamfighter666

spamfighter666 — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 13:10:59 +0000

“Marketing research isn’t Spam” That is interesting Brian. That is like saying ‘email isn’t spam’. It is a vague generalization, and thus dead wrong.

Some marketing research isn’t spam. Some market researchers do spam. And worse still, some spammers, under the guise of market research, ply their trade.

But to state unequivocally that a certain market sector is not spam is naive. It is the manner in which members of that sector undertake their work that is the question. Provided they gather their email addresses in an opt-in fashion, there should be no problem. Permission is everything.

Comment on Should you say “no” to the police? by mjason

mjason — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 15:39:06 +0000

Thanks Brian! This was a timely and helpful article. It’s not unusual for our locations to have police follow our customers and ask us for information about our customers which could indicate Highway Traffic Act violations. Just this week I have been asked to comment and provide advice on this topic.

It’s always an awkward situation, particularly because our inclination is to work with law enforcement. I really like your suggestion however, to request the written authority and the opportunity to consult counsel. It’s not a refusal to help, just a way to make sure that we cooperate in a way that doesn’t infringe on our customers’ rights, or put us in the middle.
