Thanks to CBT News for the opportunity to serve as a panelist at the Auto Leadership Summit. It was an honor to share the stage with Brian Bennett and Barrett Beaty to discuss today’s rapidly evolving regulatory landscape and what it means for dealerships.
The FTC’s Enforcement Playbook: What Dealers Need to Know Right Now
“Employees need to clearly understand what they can and cannot do. The language they use matters, and the industry’s increased focus on compliance means we must be more intentional than ever about training employees in areas that may not have received the same level of attention in the past.” — Shannon Robertson
Compliance is no longer just a policy issue—it’s a people issue. Training, accountability, and communication remain critical to reducing risk and building consumer trust.

Exciting News for Dealership Compliance!
AFIP/ADCO is proud to announce our new partnership with Privacy4Cars to help dealerships address one of today`s fastest-growing compliance challenges: vehicle data privacy.
Modern vehicles store far more than just driving information—they can retain contacts, locations, payment information, garage codes, and even remote access credentials. As connected vehicle technology continues to evolve, protecting customer data has become a critical part of every dealership`s compliance program.
Through this partnership, AFIP/ADCO members now have preferred access to Privacy4Cars` industry-leading tools designed to help dealerships disclose, delete, and disconnect sensitive vehicle data—reducing privacy, security, and liability risks while strengthening customer trust.
