Not without some level of verification.
Vendor assurances are helpful, but they are not always enough. If your business repeats a vendor’s consent, targeting, AI, or data-quality claim in sales materials, customer contracts, advertising campaigns, or public statements, you may need evidence showing that the claim is accurate.
At minimum, businesses should ask:
-
Where did the data come from?
-
What consent was collected?
-
Who collected it?
-
What did consumers actually see?
-
Was the data collected directly or indirectly?
-
Can the vendor provide documentation?
-
Does the contract support the claim?
-
Can consumers opt-out or request deletion?
The key issue is not whether the vendor made the promise.
The operational question is whether your business can prove the claim before relying on it.
