[00:00:00] Speaker 1: And I would imagine even for privacy rules, you know, obviously, like, for example, companies that do survey research, they always have a privacy policy that documents how participants' information is used and protected. I got to imagine that keeping up those privacy policies to adhere to all the different states that have specific requirements, even just updating your privacy policy could become onerous.

[00:00:23] Speaker 2: It is complicated, but it's definitely something that everybody needs to do. And one of the reasons we don't offer just a blanket privacy policy that we recommend to people to use is because it does need to be tailored to what you actually do within your business. And that can vary dramatically from company to company, even within our industry, which is the insights industry is extremely diverse. And so those policies need to not just reflect what is demanded by given states, but it needs to really reflect what you're doing internally.
