The story: The IAB Tech Lab has expanded its privacy compliance solutions to include 14 additional U.S. states under what is now called the Multi-State Privacy Agreement (MSPA) U.S. National Section. This agreement, formerly called the U.S. National Section of Global Privacy Platform (GPP), addresses the growing complexity of state-specific privacy regulations.
Without a comprehensive federal privacy regulation in the U.S., managing compliance with individual state laws remains a significant challenge -- one this expansion aims to address. This expansion also comes on the heels of the IAB’s recent launch of the IAB Diligence Platform, a third-party privacy compliance tool designed for digital advertisers, agencies, and publishers.
The takeaway: The IAB Tech Lab’s continuous efforts to update and expand its privacy tools are crucial for helping brands navigate a fragmented landscape. In turn, brands should adopt flexible, future-proof compliance strategies that can adapt to new laws as they emerge. Leveraging tools like the GPP can help ensure that privacy practices not only meet current requirements but also anticipate more stringent regulations down the road.
