(WEBINAR ON DEMAND) US Privacy Legislation Overview and Update

This Webinar took place on April 27th 2021 at 3PM GMT

This Webinar discussed the current state of privacy legislation in the US, which was historically sectoral and lacks a comprehensive federal law. However, there was increasing legislative activity at the state level, particularly focused on data subject rights such as deletion, portability, and sale of personal information. The webinar covered various state laws and proposed federal laws, along with the concept of private right of action. Our speakers, John Ghent, CEO of PrivacyEngine and Denise Farnsworth, Inspire! CEO, recommended that privacy professionals remain agile and prepare for increased regulation by verifying compliance with state laws and meeting GDPR standards.

Topics of this event include:

•  Privacy and data protection in the US

• Different privacy laws in various states in the US
• Privacy legislation in the US compared to Europe
• Private right of action in privacy laws, particularly in California’s CCPA and CPRA laws
