Throwing Out the Baby with the Bath Water? How We Can Protect Kids’ Data Online Without Penalizing Merchants & Customers

This week’s guest is Brennan Duckett, Director of Technology & Innovation Policy at the National Restaurant Association. We look at data privacy – especially with regard to how merchants collect and handle consumer data, and how that conversation has very quickly morphed into online privacy. We lay out how to protect kids from harmful elements of the internet, and how all of this is changing how consumer-facing brands are now able to use this data to market and communicate to their customers.
