CLE
ALL

This CLE webinar will provide a survey and comparison of U.S. state privacy laws. The panel will review the similarities and differences of current state privacy laws, highlight laws with high-risk areas of enforcement, and recommend strategies for establishing a privacy framework that is compliant with the ever-changing and evolving, vexing patchwork of compliance obligations.

Description

In the absence of a comprehensive federal law, states have enacted or introduced legislation to protect consumers' personal data. To date, 20 states have enacted consumer privacy laws. Some laws are already in force while others will take effect in the months and years ahead.

While inspired by the EU General Data Protection Regulation and the California Consumer Privacy Act, the new state consumer privacy laws take materially different approaches in many ways. There are also notable differences that organizations must understand and adjust compliance policies accordingly. Also, states like California and Colorado have issued prescriptive rules implementing their respective laws, adding additional requirements for businesses to follow.

For companies that have multistate operations, navigating the patchwork of state data privacy laws presents compliance challenges as well as liability risks. Revising and developing sound privacy compliance policies to meet these ever-changing state requirements is essential.

Listen as our panel of privacy experts reviews the current framework of state privacy laws and provides guidance to assist clients in developing privacy protocols and policies that address the nuanced requirements of the various state laws.
