'''Restructuring current business models:''' Adopting a new marketing system tailored to the most relevant technologies will take time and resources to implement. Organized planning, communication and restructuring within businesses will be required to successfully implement personalized marketing. Some companies will have to accept that their current business and marketing models will change radically, and probably often. They will have to reconsider the ways customer data and information circulate within the company and possibly beyond. Company databases will be flooded with expansive personal information – individual's geographic location, potential buyers’ past purchases, etc., and there may be complications regarding how that information is gathered, circulated internally and externally, and used to increase profits.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mckinsey.com/industries/high-tech/our-insights/the-internet-of-things|title=The Internet of Things|website=McKinsey & Company|access-date=2016-04-20}}</ref>
'''Legal liabilities:''' To address concerns about sensitive information being gathered and utilized without obvious consumer consent, liabilities and legalities have to be set and enforced. [[Privacy]] is always an issue, in some countries more than others, so companies have to manage any legal hurdles before personalized marketing can be adopted.{{cn|date=March 2024}} Specifically, the [[European Union|EU]] has passed rigid regulation, known as [[General Data Protection Regulation|GDPR]], that limits what kind of data marketers can collect on their users, and provide ways in which consumers can suit companies for violation of their privacy. In the US, [[California]] has followed suit and passed the [[Online Privacy Protection Act|CCPA]] in 2018.<ref>{{Cite web|title=How Brands Can Personalize at Scale|url=https://www.gartner.com/en/marketing/insights/daily-insights/how-brands-can-personalize-at-scale|access-date=2021-04-26|website=Gartner|language=en}}</ref>
