How This Briefing Works
This dossier opens with key findings, then maps the gap between what Salesforce discloses and what BLACKOUT observed at runtime. From there: what it means for your organization, what to do about it, and the detection evidence underneath. BLACKOUT observes runtime browser behavior and cites the regulations that address each pattern — legal determinations are your counsel's call.

vendor fires before consent
Briefing
CRM and platform vendor with embedded analytics and tracking. Primary risk stems from consent bypass (C09) where platform components initiate data collection before consent resolution. Tag manager capability expands deployment surface.
What This Means For You
Sales and marketing teams gain CRM platform but inherit consent timing liability from platform-level tracking. Legal teams face exposure from pre-consent data collection across integrated ecosystem. IT teams must audit Salesforce component activation against consent framework timing.
