Impactful Policy Frameworks
EU Digital Services Act (DSA)
The Digital Services Act (DSA), enacted in 2022 by the European Union (EU), aims to create a safer digital space where the fundamental rights of users are protected by holding online platforms accountable for content moderation and transparency in advertising.
The DSA requires increased transparency from platforms and agencies regarding ad targeting and content, potentially impacting data usage and requiring more detailed reporting for Honest Digital.
EU Digital Markets Act (DMA)
The Digital Markets Act (DMA), enacted in 2022 by the European Union (EU), aims to ensure fair and open digital markets by preventing large online platforms (gatekeepers) from imposing unfair conditions on businesses and end users.
The DMA could lead to changes in how major ad platforms operate, potentially affecting data access and advertising options for Honest Digital, particularly concerning cross-platform tracking and data sharing.
Romanian GDPR Implementation and Enforcement
While GDPR is an EU regulation (in effect since 2018), ongoing national interpretations and enforcement by the Romanian National Supervisory Authority for Personal Data Processing (ANSPDCP) continue to shape data processing rules, especially concerning explicit consent for marketing communications and data transfers.
Honest Digital must ensure strict adherence to data privacy regulations, particularly regarding consent for data collection and personalized advertising, to avoid significant fines and maintain client trust.
