  • The digital advertising ecosystem and risk landscape: How real-time bidding, programmatic advertising, and ad tech vendors (DSPs, SSPs, CDPs, identity resolution tools) expose customer data to multiple third parties, often beyond a financial institution’s direct control—and why that loss of control is drawing attention from State AGs and other regulators.
  • Regulatory compliance challenges: Navigating GLBA, FCRA, state privacy laws, and third party risk management guidance, with a focus on where GLBA/FCRA exemptions do not fully insulate institutions from state privacy and consumer protection laws, including State AG scrutiny if customer data is not adequately protected.
  • Practical risk mitigation strategies: Implementing vendor due diligence, risk-based classification, stronger contractual protections, cross-functional governance, and tag management controls to reduce data exposure, demonstrate reasonable oversight of third parties, and align with evolving regulatory expectations.
  • Privacy-forward advertising approaches: Reducing third-party dependency through first-party data strategies, contextual advertising, data clean rooms, and privacy-enhancing technologies, so institutions can continue to meet marketing objectives while strengthening their defensibility on customer data protection.
