How to Keep Your Data Safe from Online Predators
Business texting in today’s fast-paced digital world has proven to be necessary and efficient for promoting your business. Your customers have shorter and shorter attention spans, and if you don’t grab their attention quickly, you might not grab it at all.
So how do you text responsibly, while still getting your message across?
Foxie knows that you need to keep your customer’s data safe if you want to build trust and maintain strong relationships. This is why we have compiled a short list of ways to help ensure secure texting.
Tips for Secure Business Texting
- Encrypted Messaging – Using an encrypted messaging platform (like FoxieEngage) will help make sure your texts cannot be interrupted and result in any kind of data loss.
- Secure Your Devices – Implement strong passwords, make sure device encryption is enabled, and ensure that devices can be wiped if lost or stolen.
- Be Compliant – Verify that your platform is TCPA (Telephone Consumer Protection Act) and FCC (Federal Communications Commission) compliant. FoxieEngage will ensure that your texts are meeting all guidelines.
- Transparency – Inform your customers about your data protection practices, and make sure that you notify your customers promptly if a data breach incident occurs. FoxieEngage will notify you immediately.
- Collect Only Necessary Information – Only collect information that is necessary for business purposes...the less data you have stored, the lower risk of a breach.
Why This Matters
Making sure that your customers' information is safe is not only a regulatory requirement, but more importantly, it will help you build a reputation of integrity and reliability. By following Foxie’s best practices, you can prevent breaches, protect sensitive information, and reinforce your company’s reputation.
That’s peace of mind for you and your customers.
