We are happy for your visit Business Process Business Center, thank you for your question.Here are the answers to some of your questions air quality. (Calling them FAQs on a site dedicated to the truth about advertising doesn’t seem right.)

When a company sent me a product to write about on my blog, I looked everywhere and couldn’t find the disclosures I should add. Can you tell me those magic words? No – that’s because there’s no magic word. Here’s how it works. According to the Federal Trade Commission’s endorsement guidelines, if there is a connection between a product marketer and a product endorser that would affect how people evaluate endorsements, they should be disclosed. But no one is suggesting the mandatory introduction of “Danger Will Robinson!” neon warning boxes. What matters is effective communication, not legalese.Something like “Company X sent me [name of product] Give it a try and here’s what I thought” provides readers with the information they need. Consider this rule of thumb: If you treat it like any other important fact you want to convey to the people who follow your blog, then you’ll likely come up with a natural, informative way to convey it. But the “where do I bury it so no one sees it?” attitude? Not very effective. For more information, read the FTC’s Revised Accreditation Guidelines: What People Are Asking for.

I can’t find the old FTC case in Business Process business center. Now our thematic case categories go back about five years. Some go back further, and we will add more cases where we can, but these lists are not exhaustive. The Office of the FTC Secretary’s FTC Administrative Decisions Index is an excellent resource, organized by name and volume. They go back to 1949.

You list the cases in alphabetical order, but I’m more interested in the newest stuff. Look! Now you have a choice. When you go to Case Highlights, you can sort them by Recent or Availability Zone.

Where can I find the FTC’s data security specifications? There is no one-size-fits-all approach. What is reasonable for your company under the FTC Act depends on the nature of your business and the type of information you have. (Of course, there may be other laws – Gram-Leach-Billy Act, Fair Credit Reporting Act, etc. – also apply. ) The Federal Trade Commission has free resources you can use to develop data security practices. Protecting Personal Information: Business Directory is the starting point for small businesses. It also makes sense to keep an eye on the Federal Trade Commission’s recent enforcement actions in the area of ​​data security. These complaints and orders apply only to these companies, but they provide insight into the practices that raise concerns and are more likely to satisfy your customers and keep your company out of legal trouble.
