With growing data privacy concerns and changes in data protection regulations, marketing specialists have started to prioritize customer privacy in their campaigns and martech platforms. This approach involves transparent data practices, reliance on first-party and zero-party data, and building trust with users.
Today, organizations are way more transparent about how they collect, use, and store customer data. Clear communication and enhanced security measures are essential to build trust with consumers. Also, companies are shifting away from third-party cookies towards first-party data gathered directly from users based on their interactions and preferences. Zero-party data refers to information that customers provide willingly, making marketing more transparent and consent-driven.
In the next few years, finding the perfect balance between a high level of personalization and respect for user privacy will become the main challenge for marketing professionals worldwide. Privacy-enhancing technologies, such as secure multi-party computation and differential privacy, will allow organizations to analyze customer data without compromising privacy. With consumers becoming more concerned with their rights, privacy-focused marketing will be even more critical for building trust with users and increasing customer loyalty in the near future. We can expect that in the era of strict privacy regulations, the importance of zero-party data gathering will continue to grow and in 2024 it will become more widely known and used by companies from all around the world in their marketing technology strategies.

The study found three distinct orientations to data privacy, dependent on who owns the privacy strategy within the organization and the underlying data assets available to the company. Their priorities also were vastly different when it came to overseeing privacy practices: - A classic Privacy orientation owned by the Chief Privacy, Security or Legal officer (36% of total). Typical for companies with a significant volume of data, necessitating an approach centered around security and risk mitigation.
- Prioritization of Risk Mitigation more than Business Outcomes
A Technology orientation, owned by a Chief Data or Information Officer (36% of total). More likely linked to organizations where there is a stronger focus on value extraction from data, as well as prioritization of data quality. - A technology-driven approach to privacy prioritizes a value exchange with consumers aiming for better access to personal data. A Marketing orientation, typically owned by CMO (25% of total). More likely linked to companies that have lower access to data, yet, do more experimentation with a variety of data signals.
Importantly, when CMOs lead privacy efforts, they tend to prioritize brand reputation and marketing outcomes from their privacy initiatives.

"Let’s set some things straight since these terms are often tossed around in the email world. You might wonder, “What’s the difference between zero-party and first-party data? Are there any others?” Worry not, email friend—we’ve got you covered. Zero-party data is individual-level data given to you directly from your audience - First-party data is individual-level data collected from your audience on your own channels
- Second-party data is individual-level data acquired from a trusted partner (someone else’s first-party data)
- Third-party data is aggregate data collected from one or more sources
Since that’s been cleared up, which ones do we like and which ones not as much? Zero and first-party data are your safest picks since you own that data. Second-party is another option as it comes from a trusted source that allows you to access and use it. Third-party is not as desirable due to its data integrity, which could cause problems with your email sender reputation down the road. With Yahoo and Gmail’s new deliverability rules being implemented in February 2024, if your brand sends over 5,000 emails daily, you’ll want to ensure that you maintain a spam complaint rate under 0.3%."
