35. How to Build Customer Trust Through Privacy Compliance with Jodi Daniels

                 

Privacy policies and data collection can be confusing, overwhelming, and difficult to keep up with for a business. What do you put in your privacy policy? Are there different laws for different states? How do I safely collect and store my prospect’s or customer’s data? Do I have to worry about GDPR? These are just a few of the questions you need to be able to answer as a business in today’s world. And the rules are changing all the time.

Joining me for this episode is Jodi Daniels of Red Clover Advisors. They simplify data privacy practices, so your business can go beyond compliance, build trust with customers, and gain a competitive edge. Customers demand compliance and transparency, and your privacy management needs to be in order if you hope to gain their trust and business. During our informative and interesting conversation, Jodi and I cover privacy policies, cookie consent, data collection, GDPR, and more. But it still feels like the tip of the iceberg! Jodi recommends businesses seek out help from a lawyer or privacy officer for your regulation compliance, much like you would hire a CPA to help with your accounting. No matter where you’re at with your privacy, listen in to this episode! ~ Pia
