State Privacy Law Roundup

📅Thursday, October 3 | 9 – 10 a.m. PT

Speakers: Julia Jacobson, Elizabeth Berthiaume, Kyle Dull

In the first half of 2024, seven new state consumer privacy laws were enacted and three state consumer privacy laws became effective (plus one on October 1, 2024). Eight more state consumer privacy laws will become effective in 2025 and the California Privacy Protection Agency (CCPA) continued its rulemaking activity. Plus, 2024’s American Privacy Rights Act could gain traction now that Congress is back in session after the August recess. Join us on October 3rd for a rundown on where we are and what’s ahead for 2025 in consumer privacy.


AI, Marketing, and Data Monetization: Understanding and Managing Consents, Opt-Outs, and Other Regulatory Requirements

📅Thursday, October 10 | Noon – 1 p.m. PT

Speakers: Kyle Fath, Niloufar MassachiGicel Tomimbang

The convergence of industry trends, business needs, and significant technology advances, particularly advancements in AI, marketing, and data monetization, has led many companies to collect more personal data and do more with it. This comes at a time when regulators are actively and aggressively pursuing privacy enforcement and over twenty states have passed comprehensive privacy laws, with most of them imposing consent obligations, opt-out rights, and even outright prohibitions with respect to specific activities or certain types of data.

Please join us for a discussion on consent, opt-out, and other regulatory requirements that are relevant to AI, marketing, and data monetization. Our goal is for you to leave this session armed with information that will help you identify risks, inform business decisions and strategy, and serve as a thoughtful and resourceful partner to your organization’s GC/CLO, business stakeholders, and C-suite.

Attend virtually or join us at our LA Office for further discussion and lunch.


Privacy Rulemaking and Enforcement

📅Thursday, October 17 | 9 – 10 a.m. PT

Speakers: Alan Friel, Lydia de la Torre

Join Squire Patton Boggs Global Data Chair Alan Friel and of Counsel Lydia de la Torre, and former CPPA Board member, for a discussion on the next generation of CCPA regulations, including regarding employment, ADM / Profiling / AI, and Risk Assessments and Security Audits, as well as enforcement priorities and cooperation between regulators in the states that have enacted consumer privacy laws.


Privacy Assessments: A Discussion of Requirements and Risks and a Mock Assessment Exercise

📅Tuesday, October 22 | Noon – 1 p.m. PT

Speaker: Kyle Fath

State privacy laws already require, or will soon require, companies to carry out assessments – referred to as data protection assessments, risk assessments or DPIAs. These requirements extend to “high-risk” activities or those that involve a “heightened risk of harm,” including, in most cases, targeted advertising, the sale of personal data, and the processing of personal data, among other things. The Colorado Privacy Act and proposed regulations under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) lay out detailed content requirements that companies must follow, including requiring significant input from both internal teams and external stakeholders, such as vendors and other recipients of personal data. In addition to prescriptive content requirements, businesses should also be aware of regulators’ ability to request copies of assessments under the state privacy laws, and the proposed CCPA regulations that would require businesses to file certifications of compliance and abridged versions of their assessments with the California Privacy Protection Agency.

Join us for this event where we will:

  • Discuss privacy assessment requirements and risks
  • Carry out a mock assessment exercise, walking through the completion of various aspects of a privacy assessment, focused on use cases involving targeted advertising and the sale of personal data
  • Touch on available resources that you can use to carry out assessments more efficiently and effectively

AI in Action: AI Procurement

📅Wednesday, October 30 | 9 – 10 a.m. PT

Speakers: Julia Jacobson, Charles Helleputte

The same thing, only different. Procuring AI presents many of the same challenges as procuring any other technology. An organization seeks to harness the full potential of the technology together with a supplier contract that minimizes risks. Two key issues distinguish Al procurement: AI systems are designed to continually learn and improve and the AI legal structure is dynamic. Tune in for a trans-Atlantic view on adapting technology and data governance risk management for AI procurement.
