Impactful Policy Frameworks
California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) - 2018 (amended by CPRA 2020)
The CCPA, significantly strengthened by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) in 2020, grants California consumers extensive rights regarding their personal information collected by businesses, including rights to know, delete, and opt-out of sales or sharing.
DCS must ensure its data collection and usage practices, especially for targeted advertising and email marketing, comply with consumer consent requirements and data handling policies, potentially requiring changes to data processing and client agreements.
Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) - 1998 (amended 2013)
COPPA imposes requirements on operators of websites or online services directed to children under 13 years of age, or that knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
If DCS's marketing campaigns or client content inadvertently target or appeal to children under 13, they must implement strict data collection and consent protocols to avoid legal penalties and reputational damage.
FTC Endorsement Guides - 2009 (updated 2023)
The Federal Trade Commission's Endorsement Guides require influencers and brands to clearly disclose material connections (e.g., payments, free products) when promoting products or services.
DCS must ensure that any brand ambassador programs or influencer marketing campaigns they manage for clients include prominent and clear disclosures to maintain transparency and avoid FTC violations.
