Global Privacy Control (GPC) is a technical specification for transmitting universal opt-out signals. The initiative is backed by a consortium of privacy-focused organizations such as the Brave browser and DuckDuckGo.
In this article, we will cover how to respect the GPC signal for U.S. Multi-State Privacy and/or Global Enterprise messaging campaigns, and different scenario configurations your organization can utilize in regards to the GPC signal.
Note: The group behind GPC also has hopes to develop a global standard compatible with other privacy regimes like the EU’s GDPR. Currently, Sourcepoint only supports GPC signals for U.S. Multi-State Privacy and Global Enterprise messaging campaigns.
