SAN JOSE, CA — (Marketwired) — 09/05/13 — , the global leader in securing digital relationships, and Evidon, the leading marketing intelligence company, today announced a technology partnership that will enable greater consumer control over in-app privacy on mobile devices. “Ad Control” is a key element of Evidon InForm Mobile, which enables consumers to opt-out of in-app or cross-app advertising. As a result of this partnership, AdTruth-s clients can detect and respect consumers- privacy choices made via Evidon-s Ad Control.
Given the explosive growth of mobile channel, and the increasing value and volume of in-app marketing, the ability to respect consumers- privacy choices is a top priority for responsible marketers. Evidon-s Ad Control, supported by AdTruth-s device recognition technology, is a valuable tool for achieving this goal.
“Ad Control provides a critical ability for consumers to take control of how their information is collected and shared across mobile,” said Scott Meyer, Evidon CEO. “Our clients want to respect their customers- privacy preferences wherever they connect, including within the exploding app market. AdTruth has developed an effective approach that can detect and convey a consumer-s choice, as signaled by our Ad Control technology, to others in the mobile marketing ecosystem.
