The productive tension

Commercial data-driven marketingandmeaningful consumer privacy

The synthesis

Privacy is not the enemy of marketing effectiveness — it is the infrastructure that keeps the data economy legitimate enough to function at all.

Learning objectives

  • Explain the privacy paradox and why consumer behaviour appears to contradict stated preferences
  • Describe the core principles of GDPR — lawfulness, purpose limitation, data minimisation, transparency — and how they translate into practice
  • Analyse the post-2020 privacy reset, including Apple ATT, third-party cookie deprecation, and the shift to first-party data
  • Design marketing data practices that treat privacy as a trust asset rather than a compliance cost
