Endorsing a plan that would make “identity theft” a crime, the Direct Marketing Association’s Information Services Executive Council has sent a letter of support to New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer.
The letter, signed by DMA president and CEO H. Robert Wientzen, stated that “[the] ISEC endorses the efforts of all state lawmakers who understand that the collection of information, in and of itself, is not the key element in the broader privacy debate. The focal point is, rightly, the use of illegally obtained information, an act that must be guarded against at all costs.”
ISEC member companies include direct marketers and a dozen data compilers.
