From fitness trackers that monitor our heart rate and physical activity, to smartphone apps that assess our quality of sleep or help us keep tabs on our mental health, more and more of us are using technology to store and track health data.
This month’s roundup include consumer attitudes to data privacy, figures that show how often Australian marketers must get sign off from their CEO, and mindblowing numbers from Pinduoduo and WeChat.
Here’s the best Asia-Pacific digital marketing stats from July 2018 (see the Internet Statistics Compendium for more)…
With GDPR finally enforced, marketers are now legally bound to handle, process and store personal data much more securely and transparently.
The regulations are putting consumers back in the driving seat by giving them control over their data, and the marketing communications they receive as a result of sharing that data.
Assess the following sentence for signs of rationality:
“Your browser is currently blocking 3rd party cookies. Many companies use 3rd party cookies to remember that you have opted out, so you will need to enable them if you want all of the opt outs on this page to work.”
Me neither.
The GDPR is here, and for many American marketers and legal professionals, it can seem like a revolution in data-handling rules. However, savvy Brits and Europeans may experience it as a mere extension of long-standing guidelines for the treatment of private data.
To familiarize American marketers and lawyers with the new rules, Econsultancy’s very own VP of Research for the Americas, Stefan Tornquist, will be holding a webinar with expert guest Alan Chapell, Lead Attorney and President at Chapell Associates. On July 24th, join Stefan and Alan for an engaging talk, followed by a Q&A session. Register here.

On the 25th May 2018, the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) went into effect.
Ripple effects from the new regulation were immediately felt across the internet – and not just in the form of a sudden dearth of unwanted emails arriving in people’s inboxes.
If you’ve shopped in Schuh, Topshop, or Dorothy Perkins recently, you might recall being asked if you wanted an e-receipt at the point of purchase.
This means the option to have your receipt emailed to you instead of given in paper form.
The GDPR day of reckoning is upon us.
Two years (or six months, or two weeks, or ten seconds, depending on your level of preparation) of blood, sweat and tears have been leading up to this moment.
However you’re feeling about GDPR, we can all agree on one thing: the internet-wide frenzy that the new regulation has plunged us into has resulted in some hilarious tweets. Here are eight of our favourites.
