Impactful Policy Frameworks
California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) 2023
The CPRA (effective January 1, 2023) expanded upon the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), granting consumers more rights regarding their personal data, including the right to correct inaccurate personal information and the right to limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information.
This policy increases compliance burdens for agencies handling Californian consumer data, requiring more robust data privacy practices and clear disclosure.
Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) Enforcement (Ongoing)
COPPA (originally 1998, with updates) regulates the online collection of personal information from children under 13 years of age, requiring parental consent and specific privacy practices for websites and online services directed at children or that knowingly collect information from them.
Agencies must ensure their digital marketing strategies and ad targeting do not inadvertently collect data from or target children under 13 without proper consent, particularly for clients in child-centric industries.
Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Endorsement Guides (2023 Update)
The FTC updated its Endorsement Guides in 2023 to provide clearer guidance on advertisers' and endorsers' responsibilities regarding material connections, testimonials, and influencer marketing, emphasizing transparency and authenticity.
This impacts how agencies manage influencer marketing campaigns and ensure client testimonials are disclosed transparently, requiring stricter adherence to ethical advertising standards.
