André Bishop, head of Lincoln Center Theater, earned pay and benefits valued at $1 million in 2017. It’s likely the biggest one-year compensation for a New York nonprofit theater leader. In this relatively small pond, a raise for one chieftain can have a ripple effect on others.Ouch.

GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), the EU-based legislationeffective May 2018 andCCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act)effective January 2020outline how data privacy should be handled.Since 5% ofBroadway attendees reside in California, this new law is relevant for the Broadway industry.This is aimed at thosewho “sell” personal information and thetechnology companies that they sell it to.This is certainly not the last of these types of legislation. The intersection of data and privacy and what’s OK and not OK will continue to evolve and change over time. Data-driven digital media buying will evolve right alongside it.
