In this episode… With ad tech rapidly advancing and the US passing contradictory privacy laws in various states, compliance is not a universal approach. Instead, conformity requires companies to have a keen understanding of ad tech and data exchanges within the industry. So how can you develop an approach that encompasses ad tech's multifaceted components?  As a privacy law council on digital media, Gary Kibel understands the challenges businesses face managing differing standards, information-sharing, opt-outs, and targeted advertising. He states that by evaluating data types, you can determine which requirements apply to each use case.

But this requires thorough consideration for disclosure requirements, opt-outs, and performance and must be integrated with additional approaches.

Gary shares key takeaways from his IAPP Global Privacy Summit presentation, how to comply with conflicting US privacy laws, and how businesses should consider cross-contextual opt-outs.
