Latest Policy Findings: 2026-06-10

ActiveCampaign gives admins workable controls, but behavioral tracking and automation depth still make it a high-surveillance marketing.

Strongest: User Control
70/100

ActiveCampaign is strongest where teams can manage consent, exports, contact deletion, and automation access from one account surface.

Weakest: Ads & Tracking
45/100

The weakest area is the tracking model itself: site visits, email behavior, and automations can build a dense profile around each contact.
