SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 31, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Google is the unchallenged leader of search engine traffic. Its free analytics tool, Google Analytics, automatically collects user data, including browser information, pages visited, operating system, user location, preferred language, and the user device's IP address.(1) While this data can be a powerful asset for eCommerce companies, it does not meet the EU's data collection standards. Italy, France, Austria, and now Denmark agree that Google Analytics violates GDPR privacy policies by passing user data back to the United States without adequate safeguards.(2) This puts American eCommerce companies in jeopardy of either not being able to operate in the EU or facing GDPR fines. Fortunately, Mikel Lindsaar, an Australian entrepreneur, has partnered with the world's #1 CRM platform to create StoreConnect. Small to mid-sized businesses can use eCommerce integration to seamlessly and lawfully operate in Europe.

Key Points: 
  • (1) While this data can be a powerful asset for eCommerce companies, it does not meet the EU's data collection standards.

RBS Training Regulation Effect on Liquor Liability in California

BOCA RATON, Fla., Sept. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- On August 31, 2022, the extension of the grace period for the new Responsible Beverage Service Training (RBST) to be completed in California ended. The foundations of the RBST training require all staff members who sell and serve alcohol to be certified by the state. A recent California Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) press release reports show that 25% of servers have successfully registered through the Responsible Beverage Service (RBS) portal, completed the training through a state-approved provider (such as Serving Alcohol), and subsequently passed the state exam. With an estimated 75% of servers still not certified, businesses are asking what the risks of non-compliance are. It's not just you wondering as our staff is fielding questions on this subject daily. Ultimately, if your business is not in compliance, we believe this may create liability, insurance, and financial risks, so the following is our synopsis.

Key Points: 
  • As of now, anyone who meets the definition of an alcohol server or alcohol manager must attend training through a state-approved provider.
  • Under civil liability in California, a server may be held liable for damages and injuries related to an intoxicated person.
  • Under administrative liability, staff lacking proper training could be interpreted as endangering the public welfare and morals by state authorities.
  • For example, an underwriter may increase liability coverage simply because a business creates undue risk when staff has not received mandatory training.
