Impactful Policy Frameworks
California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) 2018 (amended by CPRA 2020)
The CCPA (amended by CPRA) gives California consumers extensive rights regarding their personal information, including the right to know, delete, and opt-out of the sale of their data, and imposes strict requirements on businesses collecting, using, or selling personal data.
Hibu must ensure its data collection and processing practices comply with consumer rights and transparency requirements, potentially affecting data-driven marketing strategies and requiring robust consent mechanisms.
Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Endorsement Guides 2023 Update
The FTC's updated Endorsement Guides clarify rules around influencer marketing, testimonials, and reviews, requiring clear disclosure of material connections between advertisers and endorsers, and holding businesses accountable for false or misleading endorsements.
Hibu must ensure that any online review or testimonial management services provided to clients fully comply with new disclosure requirements and accuracy standards to avoid FTC penalties.
American Innovation and Choice Online Act (AICOA) (Proposed)
While not yet passed, AICOA aims to prevent large tech platforms from unfairly preferencing their own products and services or disadvantaging competitors, potentially impacting how SMBs advertise on major platforms.
If passed, AICOA could alter the dynamics of paid search and display advertising on major platforms, potentially creating new opportunities or restrictions for Hibu's ad campaign management for SMBs.
