Impactful Policy Frameworks
FTC Endorsement Guides (2023 Update)
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) updated its Endorsement Guides in 2023, clarifying rules for disclosure of material connections between endorsers and advertisers, including sponsored content and native advertising.
This policy directly impacts PR Newswire's 'Guaranteed Paid Placement' offering by requiring clear and conspicuous disclosure that content is paid, influencing how brands structure and present their native advertising.
SEC Cybersecurity Risk Management, Strategy, Governance, and Incident Disclosure (2023)
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted new rules in 2023 requiring public companies to disclose material cybersecurity incidents and periodically disclose their cybersecurity risk management, strategy, and governance.
This policy increases the need for secure and timely disclosure of sensitive information, impacting PR Newswire's investor relations services by demanding robust and compliant distribution mechanisms for critical cybersecurity-related news.
California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and CPRA (2020/2023)
The CCPA (2020) and its amendment, the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA, 2023), grant California consumers broad rights regarding their personal information, including the right to know, delete, and opt-out of the sale of their data.
These privacy regulations influence PR Newswire's data collection and targeting capabilities, necessitating strict adherence to privacy principles when handling client and audience data for content distribution and analytics.
