Turning Regulation Into Design: Navigating AADC Requirements in Systems and Software
An Insight Session with Myna Partners and OneTrust
Age-appropriate design code legislation is spreading across US states and the compliance question it raises is no longer just a legal one. It is architectural.
How systems are built, how automated decisions are made, how data is collected and used, and how platforms are designed to engage users, all of it is now in scope. For organizations that build or deploy digital platforms, AADC compliance requires legal, product, engineering, and marketing teams to work toward the same goal. Getting there demands a design-first mindset, not a retrofit.
In this Insight Session, Myna Partners and OneTrust bring legal and technical perspectives together to make AADC requirements practical for the teams responsible for designing and deploying platforms and services.
What This Session Covers
Drawing on real-world experience working with organizations across industries, from Fortune 10 companies to mid-market businesses Dave Cohen, Luke Labenski, and Harry Chambers walk through what AADC compliance actually looks like in practice and what organizations consistently get wrong.
The session covers the current US legislative landscape, the core legal themes that need to be operationalized, and the specific design, data, and governance decisions that will determine whether your compliance posture holds up under regulatory scrutiny.
Key Takeaways
- Adopt a design-first mindset: get privacy and safety considerations embedded in the product development process as early as possible
- Apply a principles-based approach: the core privacy principles behind AADC requirements have been around for decades and provide a reliable foundation
- Build cross-functional collaboration: champions in legal, engineering, marketing, and product who share ownership of compliance outcomes are essential
- Build brand trust through compliance: for organizations with significant consumer-facing presence, demonstrating genuine stewardship of user data builds the kind of trust that has tangible business value
