The IAB Multi-State Privacy Agreement (MSPA) creates a common framework for advertisers, agencies, technology vendors, and publishers for implementing U.S. state privacy laws. It will be updated to incorporate additional state privacy laws as they are enacted.

The MSPA functions as a “springing contract” that creates a contractual relationship amongst signatories as personal information flows between them for purposes of delivering a digital ad. All signatories to the MSPA agree to a consistent, transparent set of privacy terms. These terms supplement commercial contracts amongst signatories with required privacy terms and also fills the gaps where no contracts exist for certain data flows.

Use of the MSPA works in conjunction with IAB Tech Lab's Global Privacy Protocol (GPP).
