Licencing. Data Preservation. Contextual Retail - Accenture--Full Text. Although more information about customers can certainly be useful, retailers must tread carefully where customers’ personal data are involved. Some customers may be quite reluctant to provide this type of information to the store, so retailers must avoid asking for more data than they need and must take every measure to protect the customer’s privacy. By earning the customer’s trust, retailers can enhance the customer experience while increasing their ability to sell.
A reputation for sloppy handling of customers’ data is one of the fastest ways to at a minimum damage relationships with individual customers and even worse the public at large. Highlighting Relevant Products The opinions of those we trust often influence our purchase behavior, and social network sites make it much easier to obtain those opinions.

Overview Data protection laws exist to strike a balance between the rights of individuals to privacy and the ability of organisations to use data for the purposes of their business.

BRUSSELS - An obscure section in a US law is said to entitle authorities to access, without a warrant, data stored by any EU citizen on clouds run by American companies. Although highly controversial for its indirect effects on Americans, the impact of the law appears to have been overlooked by its intended target - everyone else. Rather than case-by-case snooping, the law authorises mass-surveillance of non-Americans, for purely political purposes, said Caspar Bowden who is the former chief privacy adviser to Microsoft, at a panel on cyber security organised by the CPDP conference in Brussels on Friday (25 January).
“It intentionally targets only non-US persons located outside the US and provides for a blanket authorisation to this for one year at a time. There is no individual warrantry,” said Bowden, who is now an independent advocate for information rights. The EU’s current data reform package is apparently unable to respond to the wording outlined in the US act.
