About the Course
Introduction
This CLE webinar will discuss how to identify and reduce litigation risks stemming from website and mobile app tracking technologies. The panel will examine pixels, session replay, chat tools, cookies, and analytics tech in the context of federal and state laws, including the California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA), the Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA), and related statutes and regulations. The panel will cover best practices for consent and disclosure, data sharing, website/app audits, and strategies for responding to demand letters and defending lawsuits.
Description
Businesses commonly use website and/or mobile app technologies to measure traffic, analyze user behavior, improve functionality, and support advertising and marketing efforts. This tech can be used to collect information about a user's identity and interactions, sharing that data with internal or external analytics, advertising, social media, or similar third-party providers.
Plaintiffs' counsel in recent years have challenged the use of these technologies under federal and state wiretap and eavesdropping statutes, the VPPA, or related privacy and consumer protection laws. Courts continue to evaluate whether these tools create an improper interception or disclosure, what information is protected, and whether the user provided effective consent. In an evolving landscape, counsel must understand the tracking technologies operating on company websites and apps, what information each collects and shares, how that collection occurs, and whether the company's notices and consent practices sufficiently protect against future litigation risks.
Listen as our panel examines current website and app tracking technology, the principal and recent claims and defenses, and steps corporate counsel may take to identify and mitigate risk.
