Privacy isn’t boring – it’s a treat! Much like a delicious ice cream sundae. And just like an ice cream sundae, each layer of a solid privacy program is critical to help you stay compliant and earn customer trust. With the right ingredients, you can future-proof your company, boost sales, and bolster your brand’s reputation. Ready to dive in? Here’s how to build your privacy sundae: 1. Start with your container - Determine if GDPR, CCPA, and other global and state privacy laws apply to your business. No container. No sundae. 2. Establish a supporting foundation - Your data inventory is the foundation. It will show you the hows, whys, and wheres of your data collection practices. Without it, your sundae might melt. 3. Choose your flavor combinations: - An easy-to-digest privacy notice tells consumers what data of theirs is collected and how it’s shared and/or used. - Establish privacy rights request processes to determine how you respond when someone exercises their privacy rights. Be prepared to handle requests for access, deletion, or corrections. - Implement reasonable security measures, including the right tech and process protections to keep your data safe. 4. Add gooey toppings like: - Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs) to identify privacy risks and ensure compliance with privacy laws in new or modified data processing activities. - A privacy plan to provide an overview your company’s privacy program. Avoid downtime by considering privacy early. - An incident response plan to manage data breaches. Make it cross-functional, ensuring everyone knows their role if things get sticky. 5. Sprinkle on some cookies - Understand the hows, whys, and whos of your website digital trackers (i.e. cookies) and consent mechanisms. Regularly perform cookie audits to uncover and rectify any cookie-related mishaps. 6. Add the whipped cream - No sundae is complete without it. Train team members to understand their role in protecting user privacy. Equip them with the knowledge they need to keep your privacy practices strong and effective. 7. Put the cherry on top - Now, show off that sundae! Share your privacy program with customers to build trust and prove you’ve got their data covered. Privacy is the ultimate treat. Serve it up right, and your business will be the go-to sundae bar for years to come! ♻ Repost to help more privacy pros build their privacy sundae.

By January 1st, 16 state privacy laws could apply to your company. While all these laws have similar obligations - nuances in scope and implementation can catch companies off guard. Yet preparation is power. Now is the time to act. Prepare with these 5 steps: 1. Understand What Laws Apply to Your Organization - Each state has its own requirements - Knowing the type and quantity of data you collect and how it’s used will help determine what laws apply to your organization - Look out for low scoping thresholds in places like Texas, Minnesota, and Nebraska 2. Refine Privacy Rights Management -Determine how to manage privacy rights requests—ALL state privacy laws mandate rights like access, deletion, rectification, and certain opt-outs. - Many states limit sensitive data collection to explicit consumer consent - Look for notable privacy rights variations in Oregon, Maryland and Indiana 3. Conduct Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs) - Most state privacy laws require PIAs for high-risk processing activities like targeted ads. - Establish a PIA process. Include a clear PIA template, provide employee training, and embed PIAs in development workflows. - Maryland has a unique PIA obligation—don’t overlook it. 4. Update Privacy Notices - All state privacy laws require privacy notices at the time of collecting personal information. - Keep your privacy notice up-to-date and ensure (at a bare minimum) it covers data categories, third-party sharing, privacy rights options, and opt-out procedures. - Look out for unusual privacy notice obligations in California, Texas, and Rhode Island 5. Prepare for Enforcement - Proactive compliance can protect you from costly fines and reputational harm. - Have a privacy program in place to manage new and evolving obligations. - Most states offer a window to cure violations—use it wisely. As state privacy laws stack up, having a structured, adaptable approach will pave the path to sustainable compliance. Make 2025 the year your privacy program doesn’t just meet the minimum—it excels.

Don't trust your vendors. Vet them first. Because entrusting third-party vendors with your company’s data significantly heightens your risk exposure. And when vendors don’t uphold the privacy and security promises your company makes… It leaves your company open to liabilities, like fines and reputational harm. Yet companies can minimize third-party risks by: - Conducting a Privacy AND Security Assessment - Establishing a Secure Transfer Mechanism - Issuing Data Protection Agreements (a.k.a. vendor contracts) - Regularly Monitoring Third Parties - Appropriately Offboarding Third Party Vendors Managing third-party vendors can be a make-or-break factor in your privacy program. That's why it's so important to properly vet vendors for privacy and security risks. And to have a contract with all third-parties. (also a requirement under privacy laws) Yet sometimes third-party management can be overwhelming for companies (because there's a lot to consider) So we created a guide to help: https://lnkd.in/gPZE3xWp We love helping companies with third-party risk management.

Privacy management isn’t a solo act—it’s an entire orchestra. Lawmakers write the score, with regulations like GDPR and CCPA setting the stage. And companies have the sheet music (data). And they might have an oboe, violin, and other musical instruments (technology) to make the sound. But without the conductor, there's no music, just noise. The real music happens when people, process, and technology play in perfect harmony. Enter the Fractional Privacy Officer (FPO) who steps in as the conductor, making sure every piece comes together by: - Building and maintaining privacy programs - Interpreting and monitoring evolving privacy laws to maintain compliance - Identifying and mitigating privacy risks - And more! Yet, even the best conductor needs the right musicians (people) And the right instruments (technology) So in harmony they can: - Maintain and update data inventories - Automate consumer privacy rights requests - Manage cookie consent across platforms - Identify and mitigate third-party risks - And so much more! But technology alone won’t get the job done. You need people to: - Install and manage software - Understand privacy regulations and how they intersect with other parts of a privacy program And without an expert to guide your team, it’s like trying to play a symphony without a conductor. The real harmony comes when people, process, and technology work together. Ready to get your privacy program in tune? At Red Clover Advisors, we provide assurance in managing privacy across all fronts. We'll guide your team, tune your tech, and orchestrate a privacy program that hits all the right notes. We’re here to help you every step of the way. Reach out if you need help.

76% of Americans want more transparency around how their personal data is being used by companies. (According to KPMG) For e-commerce companies, that’s more than a stat—it’s a directive to align privacy practices with consumer expectations. Because transparency will help you build trust and drive sales. Here’s how to make it happen: Know Your Data Inside Out - Create and maintain a data inventory. Track the personal data you collect, understand why it’s collected, where it’s stored, and how it’s shared or sold. - This foundational step drives transparency and compliance. It also informs a privacy notice, supports privacy rights management, and more! Actively Respect Consumer Privacy Rights - Enable customers to access, correct, or delete their data. - Establish clear internal procedures and processes, and train your team to honor these requests promptly. Manage Your Cookies and Ad Tech - Regularly audit your cookie consent banners and ad tech to ensure everything works as it should. - Ensure your cookie consent banners are transparent, easy to navigate, and let users opt in or opt out with ease. Optimize Opt-In/Opt-Out Processes - Recognize Universal Opt-Out Mechanisms (UOOMs), like Global Privacy Control (GPC), to respect consumer privacy preferences at scale. It’s all about striking a balance between data collection, transparency, and consumer privacy. This way, you're not just ticking a compliance box – you’re creating a loyal customer base. And this will help you boost sales. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gG9GkUHb
