  • PRIZE PROMOTIONS AROUND the WORLD Japan
    PRIZE PROMOTIONS AROUND THE WORLD Japan Downloaded: 30 Sep 2021 ABOUT PRIZE PROMOTIONS AROUND THE WORLD ABOUT Welcome to the fourth edition of DLA Piper's popular Guide to Prize Promotions Around the World. Prize promotions remain a popular marketing tool used globally by businesses to attract customers. The internet and various social media platforms make this an attractive, cost efficient means of reaching a large, multi-jurisdictional customer base; but it is not without its legal challenges. This handbook is designed to equip our clients with a useful tool to assist them with the management of the early development stages of a promotion, and to bring potentially problematic issues to their attention as soon as possible. NEW FEATURES AND TRENDS In response to client demand, this fourth edition of the Guide has been expanded to cover 39 jurisdictions which count among the most significant for our clients, with the addition of Denmark, Hungary, Nigeria and Turkey. As our interactive map shows, the extent of regulation and sanctions in this area is on the rise, with the most noticeable change being brought about by the introduction of GDPR across the EU. GDPR extends obligations around handling promotion entrants’ personal data (eg for winner publicity, use of promotions to generate marketing leads and use of UGC entries containing personal data), and introduces the possibility of huge fines for breaches of those obligations. ABOUT OUR GLOBAL ADVERTISING AND MARKETING TEAM The DLA Piper global advertising and marketing team is well-versed in handling complex, frequently multi-jurisdictional compliance projects. This includes advising on compliance aspects of international prize promotions, which we are often asked to clear across large numbers of jurisdictions, while working to short deadlines.
