At Advertising Week New York 2026, Usercentrics\u2019 Maureen Prado argued that clearer explanations and greater consumer control can help brands build the trust needed to sustain customer relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Drawing on research involving 11,000 consumers across seven markets, Prado focused her presentation on the United States. Her message challenged marketers to treat privacy as part of the customer experience, with consequences for acquisition, personalization and the relationships that follow an initial sign-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/advertisingweek.com\/aw360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/10\/AW26_ID612-THE-PRIVACY-PAYOFF-WHAT-11000-CONSUMERS-WANT-MARKETERS-TO-KNOW_050-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20838\" srcset=\"https:\/\/advertisingweek.com\/aw360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/10\/AW26_ID612-THE-PRIVACY-PAYOFF-WHAT-11000-CONSUMERS-WANT-MARKETERS-TO-KNOW_050-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/advertisingweek.com\/aw360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/10\/AW26_ID612-THE-PRIVACY-PAYOFF-WHAT-11000-CONSUMERS-WANT-MARKETERS-TO-KNOW_050-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/advertisingweek.com\/aw360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/10\/AW26_ID612-THE-PRIVACY-PAYOFF-WHAT-11000-CONSUMERS-WANT-MARKETERS-TO-KNOW_050-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/advertisingweek.com\/aw360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/10\/AW26_ID612-THE-PRIVACY-PAYOFF-WHAT-11000-CONSUMERS-WANT-MARKETERS-TO-KNOW_050-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/advertisingweek.com\/aw360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/10\/AW26_ID612-THE-PRIVACY-PAYOFF-WHAT-11000-CONSUMERS-WANT-MARKETERS-TO-KNOW_050-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/advertisingweek.com\/aw360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/10\/AW26_ID612-THE-PRIVACY-PAYOFF-WHAT-11000-CONSUMERS-WANT-MARKETERS-TO-KNOW_050-540x360.jpg 540w, https:\/\/advertisingweek.com\/aw360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/10\/AW26_ID612-THE-PRIVACY-PAYOFF-WHAT-11000-CONSUMERS-WANT-MARKETERS-TO-KNOW_050-864x576.jpg 864w, https:\/\/advertisingweek.com\/aw360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/10\/AW26_ID612-THE-PRIVACY-PAYOFF-WHAT-11000-CONSUMERS-WANT-MARKETERS-TO-KNOW_050-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sarah Merians Photography<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prado said 29% of consumers in the research simply accept everything, while 53% actively limit what they share. She also said 88% had taken a step to protect the data they share, underscoring how actively consumers manage access to their information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those figures carried a warning for brands measuring success by how many people agree to data collection. A consumer\u2019s acceptance may reflect resignation rather than confidence, and a business that treats every yes as equally valuable risks misunderstanding the relationship behind it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prado said 57% considered taking a data risk part of everyday life. She called that response \u201cthe worn-down yes\u201d and cautioned marketers against treating it as an achievement, saying consumers may later become concerned about information they have already provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/advertisingweek.com\/aw360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/10\/AW26_ID612-THE-PRIVACY-PAYOFF-WHAT-11000-CONSUMERS-WANT-MARKETERS-TO-KNOW_051-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20839\" srcset=\"https:\/\/advertisingweek.com\/aw360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/10\/AW26_ID612-THE-PRIVACY-PAYOFF-WHAT-11000-CONSUMERS-WANT-MARKETERS-TO-KNOW_051-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/advertisingweek.com\/aw360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/10\/AW26_ID612-THE-PRIVACY-PAYOFF-WHAT-11000-CONSUMERS-WANT-MARKETERS-TO-KNOW_051-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/advertisingweek.com\/aw360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/10\/AW26_ID612-THE-PRIVACY-PAYOFF-WHAT-11000-CONSUMERS-WANT-MARKETERS-TO-KNOW_051-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/advertisingweek.com\/aw360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/10\/AW26_ID612-THE-PRIVACY-PAYOFF-WHAT-11000-CONSUMERS-WANT-MARKETERS-TO-KNOW_051-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/advertisingweek.com\/aw360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/10\/AW26_ID612-THE-PRIVACY-PAYOFF-WHAT-11000-CONSUMERS-WANT-MARKETERS-TO-KNOW_051-864x576.jpg 864w, https:\/\/advertisingweek.com\/aw360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/10\/AW26_ID612-THE-PRIVACY-PAYOFF-WHAT-11000-CONSUMERS-WANT-MARKETERS-TO-KNOW_051-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/advertisingweek.com\/aw360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/10\/AW26_ID612-THE-PRIVACY-PAYOFF-WHAT-11000-CONSUMERS-WANT-MARKETERS-TO-KNOW_051-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/advertisingweek.com\/aw360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/10\/AW26_ID612-THE-PRIVACY-PAYOFF-WHAT-11000-CONSUMERS-WANT-MARKETERS-TO-KNOW_051-540x360.jpg 540w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sarah Merians Photography<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The business consequences can extend beyond customers who openly complain or leave. Prado said 66% had left a company over its handling of their data, then urged marketers to consider people who abandon an interaction before becoming customers. An advertisement may reach someone, she said, without revealing why that person walks away before entering the marketing funnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To bring that problem closer to home, Prado opened by asking attendees to set aside their professional roles and think as consumers. She asked whether they had deleted an app because of tracking or abandoned a sign-up that requested too much information. The exercise connected the research to decisions marketers themselves make when the perceived cost of sharing becomes too high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trust also changes what people are willing to share in different settings, Prado said. She contrasted consumers\u2019 willingness to provide sensitive information within a trusted banking relationship with their reluctance to disclose information to a social app. Brands begin with different relationships, she said, and those differences affect how consumers receive a request for data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Artificial intelligence makes the need for explanation particularly pressing. Prado said three-quarters of consumers viewed AI personalization as intrusive, but she also said 50% would pay more if they understood the AI personalization. That finding describes stated willingness, rather than demonstrated purchasing behavior, but it supports her argument that consumers want visibility into how an experience works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prado urged brands to identify when AI powers customer interactions, including chatbots, sign-ups and recommendations. She emphasized plain language that helps people understand what is happening at the moment they encounter it. The objective, she said, is to make the exchange clear enough that consumers recognize what they receive in return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/advertisingweek.com\/aw360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/10\/AW26_ID612-THE-PRIVACY-PAYOFF-WHAT-11000-CONSUMERS-WANT-MARKETERS-TO-KNOW_054-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20840\" srcset=\"https:\/\/advertisingweek.com\/aw360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/10\/AW26_ID612-THE-PRIVACY-PAYOFF-WHAT-11000-CONSUMERS-WANT-MARKETERS-TO-KNOW_054-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/advertisingweek.com\/aw360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/10\/AW26_ID612-THE-PRIVACY-PAYOFF-WHAT-11000-CONSUMERS-WANT-MARKETERS-TO-KNOW_054-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/advertisingweek.com\/aw360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/10\/AW26_ID612-THE-PRIVACY-PAYOFF-WHAT-11000-CONSUMERS-WANT-MARKETERS-TO-KNOW_054-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/advertisingweek.com\/aw360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/10\/AW26_ID612-THE-PRIVACY-PAYOFF-WHAT-11000-CONSUMERS-WANT-MARKETERS-TO-KNOW_054-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/advertisingweek.com\/aw360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/10\/AW26_ID612-THE-PRIVACY-PAYOFF-WHAT-11000-CONSUMERS-WANT-MARKETERS-TO-KNOW_054-864x576.jpg 864w, https:\/\/advertisingweek.com\/aw360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/10\/AW26_ID612-THE-PRIVACY-PAYOFF-WHAT-11000-CONSUMERS-WANT-MARKETERS-TO-KNOW_054-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/advertisingweek.com\/aw360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/10\/AW26_ID612-THE-PRIVACY-PAYOFF-WHAT-11000-CONSUMERS-WANT-MARKETERS-TO-KNOW_054-540x360.jpg 540w, https:\/\/advertisingweek.com\/aw360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/10\/AW26_ID612-THE-PRIVACY-PAYOFF-WHAT-11000-CONSUMERS-WANT-MARKETERS-TO-KNOW_054-270x180.jpg 270w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sarah Merians Photography<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Privacy-conscious consumers may be especially receptive to that approach. Prado said the consumers most aware of how their information is used and what protections surround it were three times more likely to say yes. She described them as a potentially valuable audience because they understand why they agreed and could become advocates for a brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her recommendations centered on giving consumers understandable choices throughout their relationship with a business. That includes clear opportunities to opt out, unsubscribe or seek more information, alongside explanations of AI use. For marketers, the payoff she described begins with an informed decision to participate and continues through a relationship built on trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><a
