Common Mistakes

  • 1 Loading Marketing Cloud tracking before marketing consent is obtained
  • 2 Not mapping data flows between Marketing Cloud and other Salesforce products (Service Cloud, CRM) in the privacy notice
  • 3 Failing to verify that the Salesforce DPA covers all Marketing Cloud sub-products in use

Compliance Considerations

The web tracking component collects browsing behaviour and links it to Salesforce marketing profiles for campaign targeting and journey orchestration. Marketing consent is required. Data is processed on Salesforce infrastructure — verify the DPA covers Marketing Cloud specifically. Multiple Salesforce products may share data — document the data flows.
