About Us
Most are familiar with the venerable Latin axiom, “caveat emptor” – let the buyer beware. Well, in today's world, the advertising and marketing of goods and services is no longer a free-for-all. Laws and regulations address what sellers can say, to whom, when and how – and what they can do with the information they collect. This blog looks at those rules and at how they are being enforced and interpreted.
