Increase Customer Trust & Credibility with the ‘Trust Badge’
Secure Privacy adds a small widget to websites from where visitors can change their permissions and be in charge of their own data.
What is a trust badge?
A trust badge is an add-on on the cookie banner of a website that shows visitors you care about their privacy. Secure Privacy can add this widget on your site. When a user clicks on it, the privacy banner will be displayed. There they will see what plugins you use, what data you collect, and additional information that you can customize. If a visitor doesn’t want their data tracked, they will have the option to opt-out.
Website owners use trust badges as a tool to be transparent, appear trustworthy, and build a genuine relationship with their customers.
