At IAPP Global Privacy Summit, U.S. regulators delivered a clear message: they're looking out for the consumer, and the grace period is over for complying with tablestakes requirements.

In the Ketch booth, Colleen Barry sat down with Red Clover Advisors Founder & CEO (and privacy podcast host) Jodi Daniels to unpack the biggest takeaways from this year’s regulator panels.

🔥 Here are the highlights:

✔ Read the FAQs. Regulators aren't publishing sweeps and advisories for kicks. They're telling you what to prioritize. Ignore them at your peril!

✔ “Show your work.” Math class rules apply. If you want partial credit, you've gotta document how you got to the decision. Regulators want to see your processes and understand how you've come to decisions.

✔ QA your consumer-facing contact points. Especially privacy email inboxes! Regulators test them like a mystery shopper, and it's likely to be the first point of inquiry.

✔ Regulators are friendly, but there are a few topics that won't get a pass. Global Privacy Control? Opt out of sale? They've been telling you to enforce these for years, and there are no more excuses.

If you didn’t catch the Summit’s headline panels, this is the practical advice you need to bring home.
