Join Warner Norcross + Judd LLP attorneys Kelly Hollingsworth, Nate Steed, and Alex Haywood for a program to address privacy law changes that could significantly impact your organization. If you are a for-profit entity doing business in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah or Virginia, there are several new and revised laws requiring you to update your privacy disclosures and vendor contracts. The team from Warner will present the necessary changes you need to make to comply with the California Privacy Rights Act and Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act – both of which became effective January 1, 2023. Additionally, they will be highlighting upcoming requirements for Colorado, Connecticut, and Utah and tips to work through the patchwork of privacy laws in an efficient manner to avoid duplicative efforts.
