To meet today\u2019s requirements, most of the time marketers need explicit user consent to access individuals\u2019 personal data. <a href=\"https:\/\/usercentrics.com\/knowledge-hub\/google-consent-mode\/\">Consent-based marketing<\/a> is effectively becoming the industry standard.<\/p>\n<p>Many marketers strongly rely on Google services as sources for lead generation, retargeting, and customer acquisition. Shifts in data sources and requirements for explicit user consent are directly affecting many digital marketing KPIs, including conversion rates and lead volumes. Consent-based marketing is the way forward, because old strategies and tactics increasingly don\u2019t work \u2014 literally \u2014 as Google will block companies from fully accessing their services if they can\u2019t signal valid user consent.<\/p>\n<p>We explain what consent-based marketing is, how to obtain user consent easily and in compliance with regulatory requirements, and how to leverage consented data to support and enhance your digital marketing activities.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"uc-notice\">\n    <div class=\"uc-notice__icon\">\n        <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<path d=\"M10.8177 17.0093H12.8177V11.0093H10.8177V17.0093ZM11.8177 9.00928C12.1011 9.00928 12.3386 8.91344 12.5302 8.72178C12.7219 8.53011 12.8177 8.29261 12.8177 8.00928C12.8177 7.72594 12.7219 7.48844 12.5302 7.29678C12.3386 7.10511 12.1011 7.00928 11.8177 7.00928C11.5344 7.00928 11.2969 7.10511 11.1052 7.29678C10.9136 7.48844 10.8177 7.72594 10.8177 8.00928C10.8177 8.29261 10.9136 8.53011 11.1052 8.72178C11.2969 8.91344 11.5344 9.00928 11.8177 9.00928ZM11.8177 22.0093C10.4344 22.0093 9.13442 21.7468 7.91775 21.2218C6.70108 20.6968 5.64275 19.9843 4.74275 19.0843C3.84275 18.1843 3.13025 17.1259 2.60525 15.9093C2.08025 14.6926 1.81775 13.3926 1.81775 12.0093C1.81775 10.6259 2.08025 9.32594 2.60525 8.10928C3.13025 6.89261 3.84275 5.83428 4.74275 4.93428C5.64275 4.03428 6.70108 3.32178 7.91775 2.79678C9.13442 2.27178 10.4344 2.00928 11.8177 2.00928C13.2011 2.00928 14.5011 2.27178 15.7177 2.79678C16.9344 3.32178 17.9928 4.03428 18.8927 4.93428C19.7927 5.83428 20.5052 6.89261 21.0302 8.10928C21.5552 9.32594 21.8177 10.6259 21.8177 12.0093C21.8177 13.3926 21.5552 14.6926 21.0302 15.9093C20.5052 17.1259 19.7927 18.1843 18.8927 19.0843C17.9928 19.9843 16.9344 20.6968 15.7177 21.2218C14.5011 21.7468 13.2011 22.0093 11.8177 22.0093Z\" fill=\"black\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"uc-notice__content\">\n                <p><strong>Listen now:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/usercentrics.com\/events\/privacy-led-marketing-in-the-cookieless-future\/\">Usercentrics Consented podcast, Ep. 3: Is privacy-led marketing the solution to the cookieless future?<\/a><\/p>\n            <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-consent-based-marketing\">What is consent-based marketing?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Consent-based marketing is a part of the broader strategy of privacy-led marketing. It involves, for example, only serving ad content to users who have given prior consent for use of their personal data, like saying \u201cyes\u201d to <a href=\"https:\/\/usercentrics.com\/knowledge-hub\/server-side-tagging-and-how-it-will-impact-consent\/\">tracking tags<\/a> on websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Data privacy laws and requirements for companies to obtain valid user consent create demand for compliance solutions like the <a href=\"https:\/\/usercentrics.com\/website-consent-management\/\">Usercentrics Consent Management Platform (CMP)<\/a>. But the bigger user-centric paradigm shift is that user consent is no longer merely a legal requirement where companies do the minimal work required to avoid getting in trouble. It needs to be factored into the core of marketing strategies and KPIs as we move forward. Companies that thrive will be those that embrace consent and what it can do to build trust and engagement with customers and new audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why your ad revenue now relies on consent<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Consent-based marketing in digital advertising involves clearly asking users for permission to show ads that have been individually targeted for them based on their personal data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To do this, companies rely on technologies that can automate the user consent transaction and integrate it across marketing tools and platforms. The consent to data collection to analysis to personalization process can easily be made smooth, automated, compliant, and qualified This results in highly engaging, personalized marketing content for the user \u2014 who has given explicitly and potentially granularly specific consent to receiving this targeted material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the surface, digital marketing is at a challenging crossroads between <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/capabilities\/growth-marketing-and-sales\/our-insights\/the-value-of-getting-personalization-right-or-wrong-is-multiplying\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">consumer demand for personalized marketing<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.groupm.com\/groupm-releases-results-of-second-annual-survey-on-consumer-attitudes-toward-technology\/#:~:text=Information%C2%A0sharing%20and%C2%A0privacy.%E2%80%AF77%25%20of%20respondents%20strongly%20or%20somewhat%20agree%20with%20the%20statement%20%E2%80%9CI%20worry%20about%20how%20companies%20use%20my%20personal%20data%20online%E2%80%9D%20in%20our%20most%20recent%20survey%2C%20up%20from%2072%25%20in%20last%20year%E2%80%99s%20survey.%C2%A0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">consumers&#8217; increasingly worry about how companies handle their personal data<\/a>.

Simply asking for a prospect\u2019s email address counts as permission-based marketing, although there are no clear obligations for the company for how that email will be stored.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"uc-notice\">\n    <div class=\"uc-notice__icon\">\n        <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<path d=\"M10.8177 17.0093H12.8177V11.0093H10.8177V17.0093ZM11.8177 9.00928C12.1011 9.00928 12.3386 8.91344 12.5302 8.72178C12.7219 8.53011 12.8177 8.29261 12.8177 8.00928C12.8177 7.72594 12.7219 7.48844 12.5302 7.29678C12.3386 7.10511 12.1011 7.00928 11.8177 7.00928C11.5344 7.00928 11.2969 7.10511 11.1052 7.29678C10.9136 7.48844 10.8177 7.72594 10.8177 8.00928C10.8177 8.29261 10.9136 8.53011 11.1052 8.72178C11.2969 8.91344 11.5344 9.00928 11.8177 9.00928ZM11.8177 22.0093C10.4344 22.0093 9.13442 21.7468 7.91775 21.2218C6.70108 20.6968 5.64275 19.9843 4.74275 19.0843C3.84275 18.1843 3.13025 17.1259 2.60525 15.9093C2.08025 14.6926 1.81775 13.3926 1.81775 12.0093C1.81775 10.6259 2.08025 9.32594 2.60525 8.10928C3.13025 6.89261 3.84275 5.83428 4.74275 4.93428C5.64275 4.03428 6.70108 3.32178 7.91775 2.79678C9.13442 2.27178 10.4344 2.00928 11.8177 2.00928C13.2011 2.00928 14.5011 2.27178 15.7177 2.79678C16.9344 3.32178 17.9928 4.03428 18.8927 4.93428C19.7927 5.83428 20.5052 6.89261 21.0302 8.10928C21.5552 9.32594 21.8177 10.6259 21.8177 12.0093C21.8177 13.3926 21.5552 14.6926 21.0302 15.9093C20.5052 17.1259 19.7927 18.1843 18.8927 19.0843C17.9928 19.9843 16.9344 20.6968 15.7177 21.2218C14.5011 21.7468 13.2011 22.0093 11.8177 22.0093Z\" fill=\"black\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"uc-notice__content\">\n                <p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/usercentrics.com\/guides\/social-media-email-marketing-compliance\/email-marketing-laws\/\">email marketing laws<\/a> now<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"uc-notice\">\n    <div class=\"uc-notice__icon\">\n        <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<path d=\"M10.8177 17.0093H12.8177V11.0093H10.8177V17.0093ZM11.8177 9.00928C12.1011 9.00928 12.3386 8.91344 12.5302 8.72178C12.7219 8.53011 12.8177 8.29261 12.8177 8.00928C12.8177 7.72594 12.7219 7.48844 12.5302 7.29678C12.3386 7.10511 12.1011 7.00928 11.8177 7.00928C11.5344 7.00928 11.2969 7.10511 11.1052 7.29678C10.9136 7.48844 10.8177 7.72594 10.8177 8.00928C10.8177 8.29261 10.9136 8.53011 11.1052 8.72178C11.2969 8.91344 11.5344 9.00928 11.8177 9.00928ZM11.8177 22.0093C10.4344 22.0093 9.13442 21.7468 7.91775 21.2218C6.70108 20.6968 5.64275 19.9843 4.74275 19.0843C3.84275 18.1843 3.13025 17.1259 2.60525 15.9093C2.08025 14.6926 1.81775 13.3926 1.81775 12.0093C1.81775 10.6259 2.08025 9.32594 2.60525 8.10928C3.13025 6.89261 3.84275 5.83428 4.74275 4.93428C5.64275 4.03428 6.70108 3.32178 7.91775 2.79678C9.13442 2.27178 10.4344 2.00928 11.8177 2.00928C13.2011 2.00928 14.5011 2.27178 15.7177 2.79678C16.9344 3.32178 17.9928 4.03428 18.8927 4.93428C19.7927 5.83428 20.5052 6.89261 21.0302 8.10928C21.5552 9.32594 21.8177 10.6259 21.8177 12.0093C21.8177 13.3926 21.5552 14.6926 21.0302 15.9093C20.5052 17.1259 19.7927 18.1843 18.8927 19.0843C17.9928 19.9843 16.9344 20.6968 15.7177 21.2218C14.5011 21.7468 13.2011 22.0093 11.8177 22.0093Z\" fill=\"black\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"uc-notice__content\">\n                <p><a href=\"https:\/\/usercentrics.com\/guides\/social-media-email-marketing-compliance\/gdpr-email-marketing\/\">Read more GDPR email marketing now<\/a><\/p>\n            <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How is consent-based marketing different from permission marketing?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Consent-based marketing reflects today\u2019s data privacy-conscious digital landscape.

This approach leads to higher engagement rates, as content and offers are more relevant to each individual\u2019s interests and needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Improved data quality<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When consumers actively choose to share their information, including directly when asked, or by giving permission for personal data collection and use, the resulting data collected is more accurate and valuable. This leads to better insights and strategies, as well as happier customers, as the information is based on genuine interests and behaviors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stronger brand reputation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Adopting a consent-based approach demonstrates your brand\u2019s commitment to respecting data privacy and ethical practices for its use. This reflects well on your brand, especially during a time when consumers are increasingly willing to refuse to do business with companies they don\u2019t trust. Giving customers and prospects control over their personal data builds loyalty and trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Achieve and maintain regulatory compliance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With the increasing number and complexity of data protection laws worldwide, consent-based marketing helps ensure that your marketing practices comply with consent requirements. This includes opt-in laws like the GDPR, opt-out laws like the CCPA\/CPRA, or third-party requirements levied by companies like Google and Facebook as a result of the DMA. Obtaining valid consent enables you to avoid potential fines, loss of platform access and audiences, and reassures customers that their data is being handled responsibly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"uc-notice\">\n    <div class=\"uc-notice__icon\">\n        <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<path d=\"M10.8177 17.0093H12.8177V11.0093H10.8177V17.0093ZM11.8177 9.00928C12.1011 9.00928 12.3386 8.91344 12.5302 8.72178C12.7219 8.53011 12.8177 8.29261 12.8177 8.00928C12.8177 7.72594 12.7219 7.48844 12.5302 7.29678C12.3386 7.10511 12.1011 7.00928 11.8177 7.00928C11.5344 7.00928 11.2969 7.10511 11.1052 7.29678C10.9136 7.48844 10.8177 7.72594 10.8177 8.00928C10.8177 8.29261 10.9136 8.53011 11.1052 8.72178C11.2969 8.91344 11.5344 9.00928 11.8177 9.00928ZM11.8177 22.0093C10.4344 22.0093 9.13442 21.7468 7.91775 21.2218C6.70108 20.6968 5.64275 19.9843 4.74275 19.0843C3.84275 18.1843 3.13025 17.1259 2.60525 15.9093C2.08025 14.6926 1.81775 13.3926 1.81775 12.0093C1.81775 10.6259 2.08025 9.32594 2.60525 8.10928C3.13025 6.89261 3.84275 5.83428 4.74275 4.93428C5.64275 4.03428 6.70108 3.32178 7.91775 2.79678C9.13442 2.27178 10.4344 2.00928 11.8177 2.00928C13.2011 2.00928 14.5011 2.27178 15.7177 2.79678C16.9344 3.32178 17.9928 4.03428 18.8927 4.93428C19.7927 5.83428 20.5052 6.89261 21.0302 8.10928C21.5552 9.32594 21.8177 10.6259 21.8177 12.0093C21.8177 13.3926 21.5552 14.6926 21.0302 15.9093C20.5052 17.1259 19.7927 18.1843 18.8927 19.0843C17.9928 19.9843 16.9344 20.6968 15.7177 21.2218C14.5011 21.7468 13.2011 22.0093 11.8177 22.0093Z\" fill=\"black\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"uc-notice__content\">\n                <p><a href=\"https:\/\/usercentrics.com\/guides\/social-media-email-marketing-compliance\/email-marketing-laws\/\">Read more email marketing laws now<\/a><\/p>\n            <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Higher engagement and conversion rates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Consumers are more likely to engage with marketing messages when they have agreed to receive them, and the messaging matches their requested format and expressed interests.

Companies need marketing consent from users to operate within the law; to deliver the products, services and experiences that customers want; and to protect and grow their market share in highly competitive markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the industry changes from reliance on <a href=\"https:\/\/usercentrics.com\/knowledge-hub\/zero-first-and-third-party-data\/\">third-party to first-party data<\/a>, marketers are looking for ways to minimize their dependence on mass data collection and discover new ways to engage customers in ways that are cost effective, accurate, and sustainable in addition to complying with the law and building user trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"uc-notice\">\n    <div class=\"uc-notice__icon\">\n        <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<path d=\"M10.8177 17.0093H12.8177V11.0093H10.8177V17.0093ZM11.8177 9.00928C12.1011 9.00928 12.3386 8.91344 12.5302 8.72178C12.7219 8.53011 12.8177 8.29261 12.8177 8.00928C12.8177 7.72594 12.7219 7.48844 12.5302 7.29678C12.3386 7.10511 12.1011 7.00928 11.8177 7.00928C11.5344 7.00928 11.2969 7.10511 11.1052 7.29678C10.9136 7.48844 10.8177 7.72594 10.8177 8.00928C10.8177 8.29261 10.9136 8.53011 11.1052 8.72178C11.2969 8.91344 11.5344 9.00928 11.8177 9.00928ZM11.8177 22.0093C10.4344 22.0093 9.13442 21.7468 7.91775 21.2218C6.70108 20.6968 5.64275 19.9843 4.74275 19.0843C3.84275 18.1843 3.13025 17.1259 2.60525 15.9093C2.08025 14.6926 1.81775 13.3926 1.81775 12.0093C1.81775 10.6259 2.08025 9.32594 2.60525 8.10928C3.13025 6.89261 3.84275 5.83428 4.74275 4.93428C5.64275 4.03428 6.70108 3.32178 7.91775 2.79678C9.13442 2.27178 10.4344 2.00928 11.8177 2.00928C13.2011 2.00928 14.5011 2.27178 15.7177 2.79678C16.9344 3.32178 17.9928 4.03428 18.8927 4.93428C19.7927 5.83428 20.5052 6.89261 21.0302 8.10928C21.5552 9.32594 21.8177 10.6259 21.8177 12.0093C21.8177 13.3926 21.5552 14.6926 21.0302 15.9093C20.5052 17.1259 19.7927 18.1843 18.8927 19.0843C17.9928 19.9843 16.9344 20.6968 15.7177 21.2218C14.5011 21.7468 13.2011 22.0093 11.8177 22.0093Z\" fill=\"black\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"uc-notice__content\">\n                <p><a href=\"https:\/\/usercentrics.com\/guides\/future-of-data-in-marketing\/first-party-data-marketing\/\">Read more first-party conversion data now<\/a><\/p>\n            <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Consumers are driving privacy and marketing changes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Trends show that data privacy awareness is increasingly driving consumer decisions. Laws like the DMA also work to enable a more level playing field and better competition in digital markets, requiring companies to step up their game to attract and retain customers. As a result, the benefits of consent-based marketing go beyond regulatory compliance. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cisco.com\/c\/dam\/en_us\/about\/doing_business\/trust-center\/docs\/cisco-cybersecurity-series-2021-cps.pdf?CCID=cc000742&amp;DTID=esootr000875&amp;OID=rptsc027438\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a 2021 study by Cisco<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/usercentrics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/04\/Consent-based-Marketing-Structure-1.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33684\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, explicit marketing consent makes lead data more valuable and usable for retargeting and user acquisition, increasing your marketing opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reliance on big tech platforms for marketing operations has risks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In January 2023, <a href=\"https:\/\/iapp.org\/news\/a\/irish-dpc-fines-meta-390m-euros-over-legal-basis-for-personalized-ads\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Meta was fined EUR 390 million by EU authorities<\/a> for including the user consent transaction in their terms of service agreements. Large platforms also have outsize control over advertising, providing data, audience access, and other critical marketing functions. Relying on big tech as a main source for lead generation is becoming riskier. It\u2019s important for companies to take charge and do everything they can to ensure their marketing operations comply with relevant laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, marketers need to meet the new requirements brought about by regulations, but they also need new strategies to match the changing legal and technological landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what does it actually mean to be privacy-compliant? How do you secure consent from users in the right way?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-privacy-compliant-marketing-in-four-simple-steps\">Privacy-compliant marketing in four simple steps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Navigating data privacy regulations while simultaneously optimizing marketing activity can seem daunting, especially with global business operations that may require compliance with more than one law. But it\u2019s pretty simple with the right tools and knowledge. Here are four steps to achieve <a href=\"https:\/\/usercentrics.com\/knowledge-hub\/best-practices-for-mobile-app-consent\/\">privacy-compliant marketing<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Collect explicit consent from your audiences across all channels<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/usercentrics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/04\/website-consent-management-500x500.png\" alt=\"Website consent management platform\" class=\"wp-image-33391\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A consent management platform (CMP) enables easy automation of the entire process of obtaining, documenting, and securely storing user consent. That\u2019s why CMPs are a preferred solution for most website administrators and executives as opposed to building a consent solution themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Document consent for compliance and consumers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep a secure record of when and how users consent to marketing and their information being used, along with the specific circumstances and use cases where their consent applies. Ensure people can change or revoke their consent in the future as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is crucial, as various data privacy regulations \u2014 including the GDPR \u2014 require businesses to show evidence of consent in the event of an audit, customer dispute, or <a href=\"https:\/\/usercentrics.com\/data-subject-access-request-dsar\/\">data subject access request<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Ensure that your marketing tech stack is GDPR-compliant<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/usercentrics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/01\/consent-management-500x313.png\" alt=\"Consent Management\" class=\"wp-image-33563\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To do consent-based marketing well, you\u2019ll need a well-integrated tech stack. This should start with a high performance CMP that makes the consent transaction effortless for both users and the company, while ensuring legal compliance under relevant data privacy laws. The GDPR doesn\u2019t apply to all companies or consumers, but it\u2019s among the most stringent of privacy regulations, so compliance helps ensure privacy best practices anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once obtained, your CMP should enable signaling of consent information to other systems and tools in the marketing tech stack, and control access to user data by those as well as by third parties, e.g. partners and vendors. The CMP should also be resource-efficient and easy for your team to implement and maintain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover is-light has-custom-content-position

others.<\/li>\n<li>Consent must be freely given, without nudging or coercing the user in any way.<\/li>\n<li>Users must be able to withdraw or change consent as easily as they gave it.<\/li>\n<li>Evidence of consent must be securely stored as legal documentation.<\/li>\n<li>Consent must be renewed at least once per year, though some national data protection guidelines recommend more frequent renewal \u2014 like every six months \u2014 so check your local data protection guidelines for compliance requirements.<\/li>\n<li>Privacy regulations and business requirements are evolving, so ensure notifications and options provided to users are kept up to date (ideally via and automated solution).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"uc-notice\">\n    <div
