What’s Next? An Update on Privacy, Apple, Google and Personal Data

Given Apple opt-in levels, Google cookie-less world, pending federal privacy legislation, and the plummeting stocks of companies such as Live Ramp, brands realize that they will have no choice but to develop first-party data relationships with their customers and prospects. This has created significant urgency for brands, third-party data companies, and ad agencies. So what's next?

On Tuesday, June 22nd, we got an exclusive update from two of the world's leading attorneys in the personal data economy:

• Richard Whitt, an experienced corporate strategist and technology policy attorney, 11-year veteran of Google (2007-2018), serving as Google’s corporate director for strategic initiatives. Richard is also the president of the GLIA Foundation.

EMPOWERING BRANDS AND CONSUMERS TO SHARE PERSONAL DATA

On Tuesday, May 18, 2021, Milton Pedraza, Luxury Institute CEO and DataLucent Chairman, held an exclusive discussion on Empowering Brands and Consumers to Share Personal Data.

Privacy is a critical issue. According to Gartner over two thirds of consumers globally will be protected by privacy legislation, similar to GDPR by 2023. The bigger opportunity is to empower consumers to take control of their social and e-commerce data (Facebook, Google, Amazon, etc) and securely license it as a copyrighted asset to multiple brands they trust for fair value rewards and true personalization. This will fuel digital transformation. It will also unleash the multi-trillion dollar personal data economy and help reduce inequality.
