  1. Under GDPR, which legal basis is most commonly used by B2B marketers to justify processing business contact data for direct marketing?

    Answer: Legitimate interests

    GDPR's 'legitimate interests' basis allows B2B processing when the marketer's interest is balanced against the individual's rights, commonly applied for business-to-business outreach.

  2. What is the primary purpose of a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) in B2B relationships?

    Answer: To legally bind processors to handle personal data according to controller instructions and privacy laws

    A DPA is a legally required contract between data controllers and processors that specifies data handling obligations under GDPR and similar regulations.

  3. Which antitrust concern is most relevant when B2B competitors share marketing data or pricing information at industry events?

    Answer: Price-fixing and collusion

    Sharing pricing or competitive data among rivals can constitute illegal price-fixing or collusion under the Sherman Antitrust Act, even if informal.

  4. A B2B SaaS company stores client data in the cloud. Under GDPR, what must they ensure about their cloud provider?

    Answer: A Data Processing Agreement must be in place with the provider

    GDPR requires controllers to have a DPA with any processor (including cloud vendors) that handles personal data on their behalf.

  5. In B2B marketing, what constitutes 'implied consent' under CASL for sending commercial electronic messages?

    Answer: An existing business relationship within the past two years

    CASL recognizes implied consent based on an existing business or non-business relationship, typically within the prior two years, without requiring explicit opt-in.

  6. What is 'disparagement' in the context of B2B marketing law?

    Answer: False statements that harm a competitor's business reputation or products

    Commercial disparagement (trade libel) involves knowingly or recklessly making false statements about a competitor's products, services, or business that cause economic harm.

  7. A B2B company acquires a list of business emails from a third-party vendor. Under GDPR, what must they verify before using it?

    Answer: The data subjects gave valid consent or there is another lawful basis for the planned processing

    Under GDPR, controllers must ensure a lawful basis exists for processing—including purchased lists—and verify that original data collection was compliant.
