Privacy, Advocacy, and Self-Regulation
The industry is strengthened by a robust self-regulatory system and strong advocacy/government relations programs, like the ANA's, that mitigate competitive claims, steward responsible children's advertising, and help ensure the marketing industry is advanced, promoted, and protected against encumbering legislation.
Our ANA Center for Ethical Marketing offers a robust data accountability tool kit to ensure your marketing plans follow purposeful accountability standards and best practices while also boosting your brand reputation.
The Challenge
Numerous state and federal policies, as well as industry self-regulations, exist to protect the data privacy and security of consumers, but as concern and the amount of personal data available for collection and misuse grow, so does the need for a more standardized regulation.
The ANA’s Response
We are a founding member of the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) self-regulatory program and, through the Privacy for America coalition, we are working for strong, pre-emptive federal privacy legislation that does not unduly complicate the national marketplace.

Using Data Clean Rooms to Secure Consumer Privacy Among Marketing Partners
With the (slow) erasure of the third-party tracking cookie, zero, first, and second-party consumer data has emerged as one of the main ways to collect consumer information. But with this large stock of private customer data, marketers now need a secure way to share that data with their partners, while simultaneously maintaining their users’ privacy.

Committees
Bringing marketers together to learn from each other and debate new approaches and solutions to industry hurdles.
A benefit of ANA membership, committee meetings feature a mix of member case studies, perspective from outside experts, and benchmarking/best-practice sharing that drive thought leadership on key industry issues. Each ANA committee meets three to four times per year and can be attended in person or remotely. Depending on the committee, 10 to 30 participants may attend — big enough for diversity of opinion, yet small enough for more intimate exchanges.
