Data Rights Unwrapped 2023

Celebrating our customers' top privacy transformations!

It’s not only your playlist that deserves all of the attention at the end of the year. We think our customers' work to transform their privacy is an ‘era’ also worth celebrating! 

So today, in celebration of all that our customers have accomplished this year,  we’re launching Data Rights Unwrapped—our first annual, special look at what Transcend customers achieved as privacy leaders in 2023. We couldn’t be more proud and humbled to partner with so many innovative, industry-leading companies that support modern data rights for their users.   

It’s been just over five years since GDPR was enacted. And, as businesses continue to refine their privacy programs, it’s never been more clear that static spreadsheets, surveys, and manual workflows fail to address the scaling privacy requirements that companies face across sprawling data systems and a steadily increasing web of regulations. 

The launch of our 2023 Data Rights Unwrapped campaign—featuring industry-wide trends and personalized messages to all our customers wrapping their biggest 2023 privacy wins—highlights the transformative impact of their privacy initiatives throughout the year. 

From Fortune 500 companies to Global 2000 enterprises and the world’s fastest-growing startups, leading brands partner with us to empower their next-generation privacy organizations. We love seeing and celebrating companies that move toward improved compliance, increased cost savings, and enhanced user experience. 

No matter the business or the need—from retail leaders to household consumer brands to AI companies to fintech companies to B2B SaaS—there are so many privacy transformation successes to celebrate!  

Here’s a roundup of some industry-wide transformations.
