With the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)’s May 25 implementation looming, most of the attention has been focused on consumer privacy as it relates to visiting websites or mobile apps or targeting by web-based ads.

To get ahead of the demand for consumer privacy, OTT data provider Tru Optik has initiated its own privacy effort, called OptOut.TV.
