GDPR Compliance

Data privacy compliance is a crucial aspect of any GTM implementation and is therefore a key focus of the GTM audit. The audit ensures that the GTM setup aligns with GDPR requirements, including the correct implementation of mechanisms to obtain user consent for data collection and processing, such as cookie banners and consent management platforms. It also ensures that only necessary data is collected for specific consented purposes and that appropriate technical and organizational measures are in place to protect personal data from unauthorized access, disclosure, or alteration.
