Impactful Policy Frameworks
California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) 2023
The CPRA, effective January 1, 2023, expanded upon the CCPA, strengthening consumer data privacy rights and establishing the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) to enforce these regulations.
It mandates stricter consent requirements for data collection and sharing, impacting Popular Marketing's data acquisition and utilization for targeting and lead generation.
State-Level Privacy Laws (e.g., Virginia CDPA 2023, Colorado CPA 2023)
Several U.S. states, including Virginia (CDPA) and Colorado (CPA), implemented comprehensive privacy laws in 2023, granting consumers more control over their personal data and imposing obligations on businesses.
Popular Marketing must adapt its data handling, consent mechanisms, and publisher agreements to comply with varying state-specific privacy regulations across the U.S. market.
Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Enforcement Actions on Dark Patterns and Deceptive Practices
The FTC continues to actively monitor and take enforcement actions against companies using 'dark patterns' or deceptive design elements and practices in online advertising that manipulate consumer behavior.
Popular Marketing must ensure all its campaigns, creatives, and publisher practices strictly adhere to FTC guidelines to avoid penalties and maintain trust with advertisers and consumers.
