Stringent data collection regulations such as GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) prove to be a restraint on the market. These regulations strengthen data protection and privacy of a country's citizens, regardless of where they live or work. For instance, the companies that collect personal information from EU customers, receive web traffic from the EU, or do business with EU citizens, fall under the ambit of GDPR. GDPR helps customers be aware of the type of data being collected and thus can opt-out or decline to opt-in. The market for PR focuses heavily on the collection, storage and use of personal information for media relations. The data must be collected more cautiously and individuals have the option to not provide their personal information, which could restrain the market for public relations.

Public relations (PR) companies are increasingly investing in programmatic PR in the digital medium. Programmatic PR refers to the automation of advertising. Increasing volume of global digital communications led to handing over the manual tasks to artificial intelligence. Programmatic PR increases transparency and control and is more efficient as it has better targeting capabilities for audiences. The area of reach is also greater in programmatic PR. For instance, in 2018 Accenture Interactive entered ad-buying world will incorporate the planning, buying and management of programmatic advertisement campaigns. It will also help brands in developing a strategy on attacking programmatic buying. These technological advances will help PR and drive the market further.

Globally, governments have enforced data protection laws in order to bring enforcement actions to protect consumers against unfair practices. For instance, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in European Union protects the personal data of individuals in the EU. For PR companies to ensure compliance with GDPR, they must publish a data protection policy that explains the kind of data they hold, what they do with it and with whom they share it with. The policy should also explain how subject access requests such as requests to reveal, change or delete data are handled and give an overview of how they intend to keep the data secure. These are referred to as a privacy notice/policy. Also, a regular review is required to ensure that the IT systems and internal security processes are updated to current good practice.
