Defining the GDPR Impact on Digital Advertising

May 17, 2018

The General Data Protection Regulation or GDPR is the overall regulation on the protection and handling of personal data for the European Union coming into force from May 25, 2018. No one working in digital marketing or indeed any business that deals with personal data doubts the importance of the GDPR. It brings changes to existing data protection law, and is designed to strengthen rights and empower individuals by giving them more control over their personal data. Things such as clear consent and data protection principles are given greater emphasis. These changes to data usage could potentially have a huge impact on businesses and the way they handle their customer data. If you’re an advertiser, publisher or other Rakuten Marketing partner dealing with customer data, it’s very important for you to have a robust compliance regime in place. If businesses aren’t compliant by May 25, 2018, the consequences could be drastic: warnings of fines of up to 4% of annual global turnover, or 20,000,000 EUR have been clearly laid out.

whitePaper | October 5, 2022

Customer satisfaction is the degree to which a customer is happy with your product or service. Solution providers have always cared about creating satisfied customers; they are their customers too (and those customers may be even more valuable to their business than to yours). Solution providers typically sell a bevy of products and services to the same customer. The partner often carries several vendor product lines – possibly hundreds – which they leverage to put together a solution for a customer business need or opportunity. They want the products or, more importantly, the solution to satisfy customer expectations so they can continue to sell them more stuff.
