In our conversations with marketers, we consistently hear the same challenge: “How can we personalize the customer experience and drive growth while respecting consumer privacy?” It’s a question that’s become more urgent as consumers demand more control over their data and regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the EU, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) in the United States, and other emerging frameworks worldwide raise the stakes. Many marketers feel caught between a rock and a hard place. They know they need to prioritize privacy, but they’re under pressure to deliver results, worrying that stricter privacy practices will limit personalization and affect their bottom line.
