Impactful Policy Frameworks
California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) - 2018 (Amended by CPRA 2020)
The CCPA grants California consumers new rights regarding their personal information, including the right to know, delete, and opt-out of the sale or sharing of their personal information.
Businesses handling personal data for direct mail and personalized marketing must ensure compliance with data privacy, consent, and opt-out provisions, affecting data acquisition and usage practices.
INFORM Consumers Act - 2022
The INFORM Consumers Act requires online marketplaces to verify high-volume third-party sellers by collecting and verifying certain information, including bank account, tax ID, and contact details.
While primarily for online marketplaces, it signals a broader regulatory trend towards transparency and consumer protection that could influence marketing practices and data sharing with third-party vendors for print and fulfillment.
Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) Rate Increases (Ongoing)
The Postal Regulatory Commission periodically approves rate increases for various classes of mail, impacting the cost of direct mail services.
Increased postal rates directly impact the cost-effectiveness of direct mail campaigns for businesses, potentially shifting marketing budgets to other channels or requiring more efficient direct mail strategies.
