Today’s marketers face an increasingly complex data privacy landscape. Not only are they tasked with navigating rapidly changing laws, but the consequences of noncompliance are substantial: hefty eight-figure fines and reputational risk.

Take, for instance, a B2B company that attends a trade show in the US and does not properly gain consent to contact European attendees or provide an easy way to opt out. They send out an email to all the leads that they collected, including those in Europe. This oversight could be a violation of the CAN-SPAM Act or GDPR in Europe, resulting in substantial fines and damage to their reputation. 

If lead generation is done without respecting opt-out requests or consent, it can lead to legal issues and reputational damage. This data can include names, email addresses, phone numbers, job titles, company names, and more. The collection of such data without explicit consent can raise privacy concerns, especially if individuals are unaware of how their information is being used. 

Additionally, when working with global data and transferring data across borders, companies must comply with data transfer regulations, such as the EU-US Privacy Shield or Standard Contractual Clauses. In fact, one well-known global brand was fined a record-breaking €1.2 billion ($1.3 billion) by European Union regulators for violating EU privacy laws by transferring the personal data of their users to servers in the United States. And in 2023 alone, some of the world’s leading brands have faced over $4.3 billion in GDPR data privacy penalties. 

What’s more, this year, 12 states in addition to California’s CCPA have passed new data privacy laws that have either already been implemented or go into effect over the course of the next two years. This means that data governance and compliance is more important and complicated for B2B marketers.
