Mailchimp: The Risks for Canadian Post-Secondary Institutions
Many Canadian colleges and universities rely on Mailchimp to communicate with students, alumni, faculty, and staff.
But as privacy, data residency, and governance requirements evolve, institutions are asking whether a marketing platform designed for commercial organizations can meet the unique needs of higher education.
Join us for a practical discussion on the privacy, governance, and communication challenges institutions should consider when using Mailchimp.
In this webinar, you’ll learn:
- Key privacy and data residency considerations for Canadian institutions
- How institutional communications differ from commercial marketing
- Questions to ask when evaluating your current email platform and alternatives
