As the industry becomes ubiquitous to daily life and capabilities grow more pervasive, we have legal responsibility to our consumers. Steadily increasing since 2010, there have been more and more legal considerations and resulting technical work that I’ve had to complete when working with clients or my current employer.
Legislation like GDPR, CCPA, COPA are real and understanding what your product is responsible for should be ever-present. With the rise of Consent Management Platforms and code compliance tools, I have rounded experience into hope to guarantee we are in compliance. With high stakes come high standards as you could be audited at any point for unaccounted for PII. With the days of “Wild West” freedom on the web behind us, compliance and respecting user rights will only grow. Building responsible industry-leading products or services will require a strong knowledge of this obligations.
