The FTC’s Review Of COPPA Could Transform How Kids Content Is Monetized Online

Does behavioral advertising actually bring in significantly more revenue for publishers than contextual advertising? That question, hotly debated by privacy advocates, academics, publishers and advertisers, was a central theme at the Federal Trade Commission’s day-long workshop about the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act held Monday in Washington, DC. The workshop explored whether it’s time toContinue reading »

How The Addams Family Is Trying to Own Halloween With a Blitz of Marketing Tie-ins

Releasing The Addams Family just weeks before Halloween–this weekend, to be exact–makes a lot of sense. The Addams are, after all, creepy, kooky, mysterious and spooky, so it’s only natural they would be associated with a creepy, kooky, mysterious and spooky holiday. The animated movie is the latest in a string of adaptations of the…

Walgreens, CBS Interactive, Food52, Kohl’s and more named finalists for the 2019 Digiday Awards

The finalists for the 2019 Digiday Awards — Digiday’s annual recognition of the companies, campaigns and creative modernizing media and marketing — are here. This year’s shortlist includes the biggest names in media and marketing: CBS Interactive, Food52, Walgreens, Kohl’s, Sephora and more.

Finalists for Best Use of Video, sponsored by Tubular Labs, focused on people-driven stories. GSD&M’s campaign for the U.S. Air Force put the spotlight on female pilots, while Ancestry.com and SundanceTV uncovered the impact of the Underground Railroad on six American families. HP and Edelman explored the changing meaning of the American family through photographic portraits and Massimo Goldstein saw the funny side of the disastrous Fyre Festival by providing stock images through its campaign “Fyrestock.”

Among Best Product Launch Campaign finalists were Spotify, which capitalized on the popularity of astrology with its zodiac-inspired playlists, and Barbarian, which reached the notoriously skeptical software engineering community with the tongue-in-cheek “What Could Go Wrong?” campaign for software company Solace. Barkley brought enriched protein drink Mulu to the protein-hungry customer, while EA brought “Apex Legends” to the unsuspecting one — the game was unveiled and launched on the same day. Food media outlet Food52 launched its first line of homeware, inspired by feedback from the Food52 community. 

Multi-Platform Campaign of the Year finalists focused on major cultural forces. The increased legalization of marijuana in the United States inspired Barkley USA’s 4/20 campaign for Wingstop; the dearth of young people in farming was the impetus for The Martin Agency’s spin on a beloved children’s song for Land O’ Lakes. 

This year’s winners will be announced at the Digiday Fall Awards Gala on Nov. 14 at the Chelsea Lighthouse in New York City. Winners for the Digiday WorkLife and Technology Awards will also be announced. Tickets for the gala are on sale here.

How the NFL Connects TV, Advertising and American Culture

This month, network TV returns once more with a shiny slate full of fall debuts. It’s an annual ritual of foreordained failure, with the vast majority of shows unlikely to survive to see a second season. This winnowing is accepted as the cost of doing cultural business, but, increasingly, the networks themselves have to fear…

Dealing with data in the event of a no-deal Brexit

While you can’t plan for uncertainty, you can prepare for it. The Advertising Association is encouraging the industry to plan for Brexit as the risks of the UK leaving the EU without a deal on 31 October 2019 are high.

In its remit of representing the interests of the UK advertising industry, the Advertising Association has brought together key pieces of information to ensure businesses have contingencies in place to continue receiving personal data lawfully in the event of a no-deal Brexit. This is intended to provide guidance, and does not replace legal advice.

The UK’s data protection regime is currently governed by the EU’s General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) and the UK’s Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA 2018). If your organisation receives personal data from the EEA you will still need to abide by both GDPR and the DPA 2018 even after Brexit.

Assessing data adequacy
As the UK is currently a member of the EU, there are no restrictions on the flow of personal data and other EEA Member States. Article 45 of the GDPR states that the European Commission needs to assess the relevant country’s laws to determine whether they are essentially equivalent or “adequate” to that of EU ones.

The UK has announced that it will allow the flow of personal data to the EEA regardless of a deal being in place and will recognise existing European Commission data adequacy decisions. However, the EU has not yet made a similar commitment towards the UK. This is because on leaving the EU, the UK will become a ‘third country’. And while the UK remains an EU member, the European Commission will not conduct this assessment. Unfortunately, this means if we leave the EU without a deal we will not have a data adequacy decision in place to facilitate the free flow of personal data from the EEA.

Standard Contractual Clauses
In the absence of an adequacy decision, GDPR states that personal data can be transferred to a third country or an international organisation if there are appropriate safeguards. There are a number of recognized safeguards, but most appropriate to businesses are the implementation of Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).

SCCs are a standard set of contractual terms and conditions for the transfer of personal data which both the data exporter and the data importer enter into. They include contractual obligations that help to protect personal data when it leaves the EEA and ensure compliance with GDPR. SCCs only relate to the transfer of personal data, so they can be incorporated into a wider contract that covers other business terms. One of the key benefits of using these SCCs is that they are approved by the European Commission.

Binding corporate rules
If you are a multinational operating in the UK and in one or more EEA country, then Binding Corporate Rules are required to transfer personal data between the different parts of the Group located in the UK and the EEA.

US Privacy Shield
If you send data to a US Privacy Shield organisation, the Privacy Shield participant will need to update their public commitment to specifically reference the UK, in addition to the EU. There is further information on the US government’s Privacy Shield website. In addition, the ICO has published guidance for organisations about international data transfers.

Data Protection Lead Authority
If the ICO is your lead Data Protection Authority, you may need to review your operations to assess whether you can still have a lead authority and benefit from the one-stop-shop following Brexit.

Appointing a data representative.
If you are a data controller or processor that is subject to GDPR but not established in the EEA – as will be the case when the UK leaves the EU – you have an obligation to designate a data representative based in the EEA. This representative will be the go-to person to deal with individuals and DPAs in the EEA. The UK plans to oblige non-UK controllers who are subject to the UK data protection framework to appoint representatives in the UK if they are processing UK data on a large scale.

It’s important to regularly check the GOV.UK website for updates. The ICO has a page dedicated to Brexit that covers the implications for data protection and data transfers in more detail and its SCC tool provides template contracts. If you need more information about your obligations and what you need to do to comply, we recommend seeking legal advice.

OpenAP Rolls Out Linear and Digital Marketplace as Part of New Iteration
