In fact, it\u2019s increasingly explicitly referenced in them. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The GDPR and Brazil\u2019s LGPD mandate strict consent before using personalization techniques<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/usercentrics.com\/knowledge-hub\/apples-app-tracking-transparency-att\/\">Apple\u2019s App Tracking Transparency (ATT)<\/a> framework has disrupted mobile ad targeting<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cross-border-data-transfers\"><strong><strong><strong>Cross-border data transfers<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Moving personal data from one jurisdiction to another introduces regulatory hurdles.
