The idea in theory is a good one, and any genuine sign or badge of quality that can be backed up, means increased customer confidence.

But you'll need sizable pockets for this scheme!
you will be asked to undertake an initial advisory visit by MRS to ensure your organisation has appropriate processes and procedures in place to be compliant with the Fair Data principles.

I guess so, for the average business, or someone only starting out, looking for a cheaper alternative might be good. But, is that what a customer's safety online costs? I'd never really think you could put a price tag to it. I never guessed that one day people would need something like this to feel safe online. Thing is, even willingly, I add my name to a mailing list, and then every day I get emails from people I've never known, from websites I've never heard of, all sprouting the same nonsense, buy this and get this free.

It seems Fair Data are using the badge as a way of advertising their services on corporate websites. - It's a staggeringly expensive way to promote customer loyalty and trust, especially for SME's and start-ups who can't compete with the likes of KlaxoSmithKline.

Hadn't heard of this, but will have to look into it. Very important to be identified as a good and trustworthy business online.
