The Transparency Center aims to combat fraud and enable accountability and compliance in the digital advertising supply chain
IAB Tech Lab’s Transparency Center is a new resource for metadata about the digital advertising ecosystem. Its goal is to provide a resource that makes it easy for digital advertising participants -- buyers, sellers, and ad tech companies -- to see which standards media partners have implemented, their level of compliance, certification program results, and more. This will help ensure a safe, privacy-centric ad experience for consumers.
The IAB Tech Lab Transparency Center will include the following:
“To improve transparency within our industry, we need a global and coordinated effort that complements how advertisers work – across different markets and continents. This is why we are providing information regarding companies that have qualified for the Gold Standard as part of Tech Lab’s Global Compliance Registry. We look forward to working with Tech Lab and the Transparency Center to build on progress to date and create a more mutually-supportive, transparent, sustainable digital ecosystem,” said Tim Elkington, Chief Digital Officer, IAB UK.
The Transparency Center is a tool to increase visibility, cross-industry collaboration and compliance within digital advertising. It will continue to evolve and grow to include more programs and resources. The Tech Lab Transparency Center launch follows the announcement of IAB Tech Lab’s Open Source Initiative, which makes all open source projects and code available in one place.
“The Transparency Center has been designed and built to provide a single source of truth that ensures a safe and reliable transaction between buyer and seller. This is the first iteration and it will continue to evolve and grow over time, and add more programs and resources to serve the entire advertising ecosystem” said Anthony Katsur, CEO, IAB Tech Lab. “Ultimately we aim to have buyers and sellers leverage the Transparency Center to ensure that they are working with responsible partners that utilise standards to combat fraud and enable privacy-compliant ad targeting in a cookie-less ecosystem.
