Background of the study
Privacy-compliant marketing strategies are essential for safeguarding consumer data and maintaining a positive brand reputation, especially in the competitive e-commerce sector. In Kano, an e-commerce company has adopted privacy-compliant marketing practices that adhere to strict data protection laws and ethical standards. These practices include transparent data usage policies, explicit consent protocols, and robust security measures, all of which are communicated clearly to consumers (Ibrahim, 2023; Adeyemi, 2024). The study investigates how these privacy-compliant strategies influence the company’s brand reputation by enhancing consumer trust and loyalty. It examines consumer perceptions through surveys and digital engagement metrics, focusing on factors such as transparency, reliability, and ethical data handling. The research also explores the challenges faced by the company in balancing personalized marketing with privacy compliance, analyzing the trade-offs between targeted advertising and consumer data protection. The findings aim to provide actionable recommendations for e-commerce companies to optimize their marketing strategies without compromising on privacy, ultimately leading to enhanced brand reputation and competitive advantage (Chinwe, 2025).
Statement of the problem
Although the e-commerce company in Kano employs privacy-compliant marketing strategies, there is uncertainty regarding their direct impact on brand reputation. Consumers may still harbor concerns about data protection despite clear policies, resulting in mixed perceptions and potential damage to brand reputation. Inadequate communication of privacy measures and inconsistent policy enforcement can lead to reduced consumer trust and loyalty, undermining marketing efforts. This study seeks to address these issues by evaluating how privacy-compliant strategies influence brand reputation and by identifying critical factors that can strengthen consumer confidence. Without empirical evidence, the company may struggle to justify investments in privacy measures that are essential for maintaining a positive brand image (Okafor, 2024).
Objectives of the study:
To evaluate the impact of privacy-compliant marketing strategies on brand reputation.
To assess consumer perceptions of the e-commerce company’s data protection practices.
To recommend improvements for enhancing brand reputation through privacy compliance.
Research questions::
How do privacy-compliant marketing strategies affect brand reputation?

It provides actionable insights into the relationship between ethical data practices and consumer trust, offering recommendations for optimizing marketing strategies that protect consumer privacy while boosting brand value (Udo, 2024).
