4 Checklists Your Brand Needs to Understand Data Compliance

The world of data compliance is a complicated one. NetLine's checklists help.

Safeguarding your brand is a full-time job. 

Even if you have the luxury of having a resource dedicated to brand safety, that alone cannot solve all of your problems. There are so many questions to ask and so many potential threats to consider (both internal and external), that to expect one person to play the role of a superhero is unreasonable. So what’s the solution?

Checklists.

How Checklists Simplify Data Compliance 

OK, so maybe saying “checklists are the solution” is an oversimplification.

Still, there is something to be said about the effectiveness of checklists and how they keep you organized and allow you to prioritize appropriately.

In his book The Checklist Manifesto, American surgeon and writer Atul Gawande explained to his readers why checklists are so important. “Checklists”, Gawande wrote, “remind us of the minimum necessary steps and make them explicit. They not only offer the possibility of verification but also instill a kind of discipline of higher performance.”

In this case, we’ve done everything we could to save your business time and effort by doing the research, curation, and verification for you. As you scroll, you’ll find four checklists covering:

  • Brand Safety
  • CCPA
  • GDPR
  • CASL

While each of these checklists may overlap the others in certain areas, each one is designed to focus on specific data compliance disciplines or regulations. Bullets are also included for each checklist to provide context for which businesses will benefit most from a given PDF.

CASL: B2B Reference Sheet

Safeguard your business with NetLine's CASL Checklist

 Description 

Before GDPR made international headlines, Canada quietly made strides to protect the data rights of its citizens. In 2014, the Canadian government adopted regulations requiring businesses who chose to interact with national consumers to abide by a strict set of consent-based practices. Initially, this caused a great deal of concern and confusion for marketers leading many American businesses, temporarily including NetLine, to withdraw from Canadian trade. Today, CASL is much clearer to brands across North America and the world, allowing free, consenting trade to continue.

Who Needs This Checklist?

  • Businesses operating within Canada
  • Businesses transacting with Canadian consumers
  • Businesses sending commercial emails to Canadian consumers
  • Businesses considering Canadian-market expansion
