Data Protection 101

by Will Francis

Posted on Aug 5, 2022

Many marketers are still confused when it comes to regulations around data privacy. While GDPR is the best known data regulation, it has been a catalyst for other data privacy developments around the world, from California to Singapore and Brazil. Your business is only as compliant as the least trained person on your team, so ongoing training of existing staff is essential.

In this episode podcast host Will Francis chats with Steven Roberts, a veteran of marketing who has made the shift into data protection - he's so good at demystifying the whole issue, he's even written the book of Data Protection for Marketers.

A full transcript of this episode is available below. 

The Ahead of the Game podcast is brought to you by the Digital Marketing Institute and is also available on Apple PodcastsSpotify, and YouTube.
