PASMA
Digital Badge Installation Guide
Introduction
PASMA have partnered with a technology company called Yoshki to power an online Smart Badge which has some fantastic new brand protection features.
PASMA is now able to prevent illegal usage of their logos while protecting the business interests of genuine PASMA members and those ‘working towards’ membership.
By using a web-based logo with embedded authorisation code, PASMA has given the consumer the ability to validate any PASMA member or ‘working towards’ member online via a very simple validation process, offering consumers additional peace of mind that they are looking at a website they can trust.

Website Verification
Yoshki’s website validation technology is a simple but important feature for the PASMA Smart Badge.
In basic terms, anyone browsing your website can now click the PASMA Smart Badge and receive instant confirmation that you’re working towards PASMA membership.
When a visitor clicks on the PASMA Smart Badge, they will be seamlessly directed to a page on the PASMA website which will instantly validate your membership status.
Following this check, your visitor will then be presented with the message below confirming you are working towards PASMA membership. Once this is complete, your visitor will be returned back to your website straight away.

Q – How are you tracking usage and what data are you recording?
Yoshki uses Google Analytics to power its reporting functionality.
Through this reporting functionality, Yoshki and PASMA have access to the following data:
- which websites have implemented PASMA Digital Badge code. This is to help prevent inappropriate use of the PASMA Digital Badge and to see which websites have adopted the service
- how many times the PASMA Digital Badge has been clicked – this is to help manage system performance and to gain insight into usage.
Yoshki does not access, record or store any personal data such as IP addresses, page navigation behaviour, etc.
Of the information we do access – set out above – it is only ever shared between PASMA and Yoshki, to facilitate the Digital Badge service.
