In this episode of the BSuite podcast, host Anne Richardson digs into the complex topic of data privacy with experts Donata Stroink-Skillrud and Hans Skillrud, founders of Termageddon, a service that generates and updates website privacy policies, cookie policies, and terms & conditions for small businesses. 

Termageddon exists to help businesses remain in compliance with the rapidly evolving landscape of privacy regulations. Hans and Donata break down the basics of privacy law compliance, explain why a lack of standardized privacy law in the United States (and around the globe) causes so much trouble for business and consumers, and ultimately imagine the positive impact that better privacy practices could have on the advertising industry as a whole.
