During a recent CMI webinar, Lynne Capozzi shared insights from an Acquia survey. The brand found trust and data sharing is a problem, but customers are willing to exchange data for good experiences. Marketers, our work is not done.
How content marketers can keep up with changing regulations and remain compliant were the some of the topics covered on a #CMWorld Twitter chat. Special guest Ruth Carter addressed the growing emphasis of privacy in marketing. Read on for highlights, and be sure to visit our Twitter Moment for more tweets from the chat.
A1 1of2 Absolutely! Be transparent about what data you collect and what you do with it. #CMWorld

#CMWorld A1. Yes, it’s possible, but it doesn’t happen without planning. Any strategy for data collection has to comply with existing law (and should be reviewed periodically-laws change).Clients need to be told clearly what data is collected. And be sensitive to your audience.

A1: Yes! If you’re using information to truly help your audience (ahem, #contentmarketing) you shouldn’t have any issues. #CMWorld

A1. You should use data today if you want to help customers.
Without using data you’re just creating stuff and don’t know if it’s useful except for random “thanks” emails or comments.
If you’re worried about privacy, rely on aggregated data like Google Analytics. #CMWorld

A2: With Data, it is complying with all laws (GDPR, CCPA, TCPA etc) and making sure you are safe-guarding your data. #CMWorld

A2: I think it’s all about being transparent as possible. Everyone wants a personalised service which means data exchange. Transparency is key #CMWorld https://t.co/teflJFCjZH

A2: It’s also important to make sure your team is aware of compliance rules and how to appropriately handle data. #CMWorld

A3 2of5 The privacy policy on your website should reflect the company’s internal polices and procedures and the applicable laws. #CMWorld
— Ruth B. Carter | Lawyer, Speaker, Author, Geek (@rbcarter) October 15, 2019
A3 3of5 You can have sections of your privacy policy that only apply to certain users based on where they live. That’s a business decision as much as a legal one. #CMWorld
— Ruth B. Carter | Lawyer, Speaker, Author, Geek (@rbcarter) October 15, 2019
A4: Inform them prior to every campaign that you run or when they land on your website by making them tick a box, specifying the privacy policy clearly on the website, informing them if any changes are made.#CMWorld

A4: Facebook makes a lot of mistakes, but this is one area that’s clear. When you use Facebook to sign up for something, it says in a checkbox format what you’ll be giving the app in question access to w/ the option to edit. It’s not perfect but it is a good strategy. #CMWorld pic.twitter.com/ZPhuPdbeNi
