New York, New York, June 7, 2011 – TRUSTe, the leading online privacy solutions provider and largest provider of Online Behavior Advertising (OBA) compliance solutions with over 10 billion icon impressions per month, today announced that MediaMind Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: MDMD), the leading independent provider of integrated digital advertising solutions, has selected TRUSTe as its preferred OBA provider and will support its TRUSTed Ads self-regulatory solution.
By offering TRUSTed Ads with its own platform, MediaMind gives its worldwide customer base of more than 9,000 advertising agencies and advertisers a customizable privacy solution to easily comply with emerging regulatory requirements, while enhancing consumer transparency and trust through improved notice and choice. With TRUSTe as its preferred partner, MediaMind will also continue to support other OBA providers at customer request.
“TRUSTe is honored to have been chosen by MediaMind as its global preferred partner for OBA privacy services,” said Chris Babel, CEO of TRUSTe. “Our combined expertise and established customer base will make it easier than ever for the advertising community to adhere to new self-regulation requirements and communicate the integrity of their brands by giving consumers the notice and choice that they want.

TRUSTed Ads’ transparency builds truth in privacy, enabling the advertising community to fully leverage emerging digital technologies to achieve their marketing objectives.”
“Consumer trust is critical for the long term success of our industry,” said Gal Trifon, President and CEO of MediaMind. “Supporting TRUSTed Ads on our platform allows us to provide our advertising customers with a robust and highly scalable media solution and ensure that they are working in accordance with current privacy governing regulations.”
