GPP Implementation Guidelines release for Public Comment

IAB Tech Lab, the global digital advertising technical standards-setting body, announced today the release of its Global Privacy Platform (GPP) Implementation Guidelines for a 45-day public comment period, ending on December 16, 2024.

The IAB Tech Lab Global Privacy Platform (GPP) was developed to help ecosystem participants support user choice and comply with consumer privacy regulations across diverse regulatory regimes globally. The GPP reduces the cost of managing privacy compliance by maximizing interoperability and simplifying and harmonizing user preference communication. This makes it easier for all parties in the digital advertising supply chain to comply with regional privacy regulations and simpler for users to understand their options and express and manage preferences. These implementation guidelines, developed by the Global Privacy Working Group, provide essential resources for product and engineering teams to adopt the GPP and comply with evolving regulations like GDPR and U.S. state laws. 

Key offerings include:

  • A roadmap to implementation for new users
  • Enhanced resources for experienced teams to refine implementation
  • Practical steps for compliance with global privacy regulations

The guidelines align with IAB Tech Lab’s broader mission of supporting the industry by providing tools that streamline compliance efforts and facilitate more effective privacy management within the digital advertising ecosystem.
