Experiences refined for people
Check your social media newsfeed on any given day and you’ll most likely find a story exposing a company for a data breach, leak or other mishandling of a consumer’s personal data. Take Yahoo, Marriott, First American Financial and Facebook for example. These high-profile breaches have popped up again and again, forcing brands nationwide to place greater emphasis on overall privacy.
How Does This Impact Advertisers?
As privacy concerns strengthen, brands are trying to understand how to properly handle consumer data while simultaneously reshaping their overall marketing efforts in order to still create relevant moments for consumers.
According to a February 2019 study, eighty-one percent of consumers say they've become more concerned about how companies use their data. Consumers demand accountability, respect for their privacy and better protection. Government regulation is being implemented both globally and domestically to help address these growing concerns and empower individuals to control the type of personal information businesses are collecting on them. Ultimately, these laws are protecting consumers and giving them the right to refuse the sale or sharing of their personal data to other parties.
How Can Advertisers Get Ahead of the Game?
California is the first state to implement legislation that directly impacts how brands and marketers utilize customer data. Whether you are directly affected by the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) or not at all, it is likely only a matter of time before your state considers a similar policy. Now is the time to get prepared and we’ve gathered a few tips below to get started.

With compliance at the forefront, we understand marketers are becoming choosier about who to partner with in order to reach customers via digital advertising. The KORTX stack was developed with privacy concerns at its core.
We provide products and services that help brands personalize experiences and create relevant moments for their customers.
