On March 2, the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA) was signed into law, becoming the second comprehensive state privacy law in the United States. The VCDPA reflects core principles from the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA) and its progeny, the California Consumer Rights Act (CPRA), adopted in 2020. However, the VCDPA departs from its West Coast predecessors in certain key respects and illustrates a growing trend of U.S. data privacy laws moving closer to the European…

The biometric data industry is growing rapidly, with the global facial recognition market alone expected to generate a tantalizing $7 billion of revenue by 2024.1 While tech giants like Apple, Samsung, Amazon, and Microsoft have helped fuel advancements, startups and small-to-midsize tech companies also play a strong role. Lucrative contracts abound–but so do the social and legal issues.

On July 16, 2020, the CJEU invalidated the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield (the Privacy Shield) in its decision in Facebook Ireland v. Schrems (Schrems II), holding that the Privacy Shield transfer mechanism does not ensure compliance with the level of protection required by EU law. While the decision is complex, the Court focused on government surveillance practices in the U.S., which the CJEU viewed as unjustly prioritizing national security over the rights and freedoms of European data subjects.

As millions have moved their professional and personal lives online, in-person contact during the COVID-19 pandemic has become a memory except for “essential” public services. To receive medical care or an education, be entertained, conduct business, shop for essentials, and engage in online gaming, Americans have few options but to fill in the blanks with their personal information.

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), effective January 1, 2020, is the first comprehensive data protection law in the United States.

With only four months until the Jan. 1, 2020, effective date for the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), on the very last day of the 2019 legislative session (Friday, Sept. 13, 2019) the California State Legislature sent two noteworthy amendments to Governor Newsom for signature. After months of negotiation, it appears virtually certain that AB 25 (regarding California-based employees) and AB 1355 (B2B moratorium and technical corrections) will become law.

On October 10, I was delighted to welcome an overflow crowd of in-house counsel for lively discussions on navigating this increasingly complex regulatory and business landscape. As Chair of Privacy & Cybersecurity at Lowenstein, I see first-hand how new U.S. state and federal data protection laws have created a “one-two punch” for companies implementing GDPR (which became effective on May 25 of this year), and imposed new obligations on companies that are out-of-scope for GDPR.
