Summer Symposium Series | Data Privacy on the Move

On May 25, 2018, the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) went into effect and on June 28, 2018, to avoid a voter ballot initiative, California passes a hastily drafted bill aimed directly at companies who sell the personal information of California consumers. The passage of the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) sets off a chain reaction and other states (e.g. Nevada and New Hampshire) adopt similar legislation. And just like that, in a matter of months, US companies have to face consumer privacy from an entirely new direction. The race for federal preemption has emerged but a federal law on consumer privacy, which would un-seed state momentum has not yet seen the light of day, so California remains the lead state that is shaping the US data privacy landscape. Is your company compliant with the CCPA and other local privacy laws and have you planned for what data privacy looks like in 2020? 

We will explore the current state of data privacy in the US (including the CCPA Regulations and the CPRA on the ballot in November); what companies should be looking for in applicability and scope of local data privacy legislation as well as how to measure and contain the operational impact of these new laws.  We will also look at best practices for compliance in light of Covid-19, working from home and data privacy as part of safety and security.
