The regulation requires clear, granular consent for each data processing purpose—bundled permissions or pre-checked boxes violate compliance standards and expose you to legal risk.

What Influencer Lawsuits Reveal About Protecting Your Brand Deals

Influencer lawsuits typically stem from three contractual failures: ambiguous deliverable specifications, unclear compensation terms, and missing usage rights clauses. When a brand pays $10,000 expecting 12 posts but receives only 8, or discovers their influencer promoting a competitor the next week, legal disputes become inevitable.
Document every aspect of your influencer agreements in writing before any campaign begins. Specify exact content quantities, posting schedules, revision limits, exclusivity periods, and performance metrics. Vague handshake deals or email chains create fertile ground for disagreements that escalate into …

Don’t Let Legal Mistakes Kill Your Live Video Marketing

Verify your platform’s terms of service before going live, as each social network has distinct rules about commercial content, contests, and endorsements that could result in account suspension or content removal. Document explicit consent from every person who appears on camera by using digital release forms or verbal agreements recorded at the start of your stream—this protects you from privacy claims and right of publicity lawsuits that can emerge months after broadcast.
Implement FTC disclosure requirements by clearly stating sponsored relationships within the first 30 seconds of your live video and maintaining visible …

Your Social Media Posts Could Be Breaking the Law (Here’s How to Fix It)

Understand that web compliance standards are the legal and technical requirements governing how businesses communicate online—from accessibility rules under WCAG 2.1 to advertising regulations enforced by the FTC, FCC, and platform-specific policies. These standards exist to protect consumers from deceptive practices, ensure equal access for users with disabilities, and maintain fair competition in digital markets. For business owners, non-compliance carries real consequences: Facebook and Instagram can suspend accounts for policy violations, the FTC issues fines starting at $50,120 per violation for misleading claims, and accessibility …

How Behavioral Analytics Tools Transform Visitors Into Customers

These tools fall into three categories that work together to complete your conversion optimization strategy. Session replay software records individual user experiences, allowing you to watch exactly how people navigate your site and identify friction points. Heatmap tools aggregate thousands …
