April 18, 2019 | 1:00 - 2:00 p.m.
with Wilkinson Barker Knauer, LLP
Nearly every broadcaster has a website, an app, or both - and these outlets serve as key channels for reaching listeners and viewers. Apps and websites also bring together a wide range of activities and information, including payments, promotions, and licensed content. Online advertising, personalization and other data-driven activities are also part of the picture and implicate consumer privacy issues.
Terms of service and privacy policies are critical to governing your relationships with your users and business partners. This webinar will cover legal considerations and best practices for these essential documents - and provide a look at the consequences of getting them wrong.
