Data Privacy

Email Page Print Page

Conventional wisdom used to hold that “privacy is dead.” However, data privacy has recently sped to the forefront of legislative, regulatory and consumer interest in rapid fashion. Just in the past year, California began enforcing the California Consumer Privacy Act, the expansive 2018 statute which created a series of consumer rights related to the collection, transmission and sale of consumer data. Also in 2020, California voters passed the California Privacy Rights Act which expands data privacy related responsibilities and strengthens enforcement of the CCPA. For covered businesses, CCPA/CPRA can have a broad impact on a company’s marketing and employment practices as well as its relationships with third parties. Understanding the features of California’s new data privacy landscape and how it relates to other domestic and international privacy statutes is essential for covered businesses to understand their risk and responsibilities.
