Impactful Policy Frameworks
American Data Privacy and Protection Act (ADPPA) - Proposed
A comprehensive federal privacy bill proposed in 2022 aims to establish a national standard for data privacy, requiring companies to minimize data collection and provide consumers with greater control over their personal information.
This will require Gamma Waves and its clients to implement more robust data privacy practices and transparent data handling policies for their e-commerce operations, potentially impacting data collection for personalization.
Click-to-Cancel Provisions (FTC Rulemaking 2023)
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) proposed new rules in 2023 making it easier for consumers to cancel subscriptions, requiring businesses to offer cancellation methods as straightforward as the enrollment process.
Gamma Waves' clients with recurring revenue models will need to ensure their subscription management and cancellation flows are compliant, potentially requiring adjustments to their e-commerce platforms.
INFORM Consumers Act (2022)
The Integrity, Notification, and Fairness in Online Retail Marketplaces for Consumers Act requires online marketplaces to verify high-volume third-party sellers' identities to combat the sale of counterfeit or stolen goods.
While primarily affecting marketplaces, Gamma Waves' clients operating their own direct-to-consumer stores will need to maintain robust supply chain transparency to assure consumer trust and avoid indirect implications if resold on marketplaces.
