About the Online Interest-Based Advertising Accountability Program
The Online Interest-Based Advertising Accountability Program is administered by the Council of Better Business Bureaus under the policy direction of the Advertising Self-Regulatory Council, the leading experts in advertising self-regulation. The Accountability Program was created at the request of the Digital Advertising Alliance to provide an independent, third-party enforcement mechanism for the Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising, the Multi-Site Data Principles, and soon the Application of Self-Regulatory Principles to the Mobile Environment. The Principles were developed by a cross-industry coalition of the leading advertising and marketing associations
The mission of the Accountability Program is to build consumer trust in online advertising by ensuring that companies engaged in these practices comply with the self-regulatory principles. To this end, the Accountability Program monitors covered entities’ compliance with the Principles; conducts outreach to companies and consumers to explain the Principles and the accountability process; institutes formal inquiries into cases of potential non-compliance; and works with covered entities to expeditiously resolve instances of non-compliance. To ensure transparency, the Accountability Program publishes its decisions and refers cases of non-participation or uncorrected non-compliance to the Federal Trade Commission.
