The US Data Privacy Landscape in 2020

Presented by

Guy Cohen, Privitar Head of Policy

About this talk

2020 has already been a big year for data privacy in the US. With major changes and events at the state and federal level, the importance of data privacy continues to accelerate. Join Privitar's Head of Policy, Guy Cohen, to look at: - What's happening in California? California has been the instigator in the US's data privacy journey and 2020 saw the landmark CCPA come into effect, but much is still uncertain, from the Attorney General's draft regulations to the possibility of major changes in "CCPA 2.0". - What's going on in other states? In the absence of federal action many other states are considering their own laws. While some are similar to the CCPA, there are important differences that may create a patchwork of different requirements across the US. - What role will standards play? While disagreements block legislative action at the federal level, January saw NIST release their new Privacy Framework. - What can businesses learn from the events and trends of 2020 to help them prepare for 2021?
