Being compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) does not mean that your business will automatically be compliant with the Digital Markets Act (DMA). The DMA targets gatekeepers or large businesses with extensive user bases and market power, while the GDPR focuses on regulating data privacy for individual users of digital services.
Although the DMA’s requirements are more extensive, much of the Act is only applicable to gatekeepers. However, many of the data privacy requirements created by this regulation are passed down to third-party companies that use gatekeepers’ services. The rules around this use, for example, those set out requiring the use of Google Consent Mode v2, will vary depending on the gatekeeper with which a third-party is interacting and which of their services are in use.
