In this episode of The Web Privacy Podcast, host Ethan Prete talks with Uche Orji, Lawyer and Compliance officer, about the marketing signup form she flagged during an internal audit, and why \"customers can always unsubscribe\" is the mindset that leads to GDPR fines.

The conversation closes with her advice to CMOs: focus on quality leads, because only a consenting customer converts.
