The results showed that trust (impact = 0.166; t = 2.037), privacy (impact = 0.436; t = 4.344) and service quality (impact = 0.394; t = 7.740) ) Had a significant effect on customer loyalty. The results also showed that service quality (effect = 0.229; t = 3.494) has a significant effect on the success of electronic customer relationship management; But in the meanwhile, trust (effect = 0.078; t = 1.570) and privacy (effect = 0.094; t = 1.213) did not have a significant effect on the success of electronic customer relationship management. On the other hand, the results of the present study showed that considering the significant effect of loyalty (effect = 0.607; t = 6.680) on the success of e-customer relationship management, it can be stated that loyalty mediates the relationship between trust, privacy and Service quality is successfully associated with e-customer relationship management.
