Certifications: How SunDance Protects Customer Data with SOC 2 TYPE 1 Certification

Direct mail campaigns, as well as email marketing campaigns, rely on databases of customer information that your marketing organization has accumulated and kept current over time. These databases may include customer names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, demographic information, buying habits, and other customer data.

In using and storing this personally identifiable information, you have an obligation to safeguard the data and protect it from loss and theft. As your printing and mailing services provider, SunDance has the same obligation to safeguard this data and maintain direct mail security—and it is a responsibility we take very seriously.
