Privacy Challenges for Digital Advertising, Particularly in Europe
The Online Safety Act: Does this present a difficult balancing act for
The UK government has published its “adequacy decision” to allow transfers of personal data from the UK to U.S. businesses that have completed certification to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF). The UK’s adequacy decision creates a “UK Extension” to the DPF that takes effect on October 12, 2023, a little more than three months after the EU’s adoption of DPF. (Please see our DPF FAQS for more information about DPA.)Continue Reading The UK Adequacy Decision for the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework
As of July 1, four states’ privacy laws will be effective and enforceable – the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (CPRA) (collectively, CCPA), effective since January 1, becomes enforceable on that date; the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA) has been effective and enforceable since January 1; and, on July 1, the Colorado Privacy Act (CPA) and Connecticut Data Privacy Act (CTDPA) are both effective and enforceable.
There are a number of compliance obligations that overlap among these laws where prior compliance efforts for the original CCPA in 2020, and in relation to its updates for January 1 of this year, will suffice for compliance with the other, non-California laws. This said, Colorado’s regulations, promulgated on March 15, 2023, materially deviate from the CCPA in a number of consequential areas in a way that likely requires companies to revisit their January 2023 privacy notices and practices. Now is also a good time to address CPRA, CPA, CTDPA and VCDPA compliance posture generally. While some businesses plan to wait until their end-of-year review and update process, when they can also assess the many additional state laws that have or will pass this year, delaying compliance until then risks enforcement actions, particularly by California and Colorado regulators (interestingly, Connecticut’s Attorney General recently released an FAQ).
This top-level summary of key considerations outlines the issues we are finding that clients have often overlooked in their January 2023 updates.

Artificial intelligence (AI) depends on the use of “big data” to create and refine the training models from which the AI “learns”. Although concerns have tended to focus on questions such as inherent bias within the
On 8 March 2023 the UK government heralded its new Data Protection and Digital Information (No 2) Bill (the Bill) as a “new common-sense-led version of the EU’s GDPR” that would save the UK economy more than £4 billion over the next 10 years and ensure that privacy and data protection are securely protected”.

Over the last couple of years, the High Court has been sceptical of low-value compensation claims for minor data breaches (see our previous articles here and here). Such scepticism is illustrated by the High Court:
A recently published case in England and the Opinion of EU Advocate General, Campos Sanchez-Bordona, on UI v Österreichische Post AG in October 2022 have given further support to the approach of the High Court, although the traffic has not been all one way as the High Court decision in Driver v Crown Prosecution Service [2022] EWCH 2500 (KB) departed slightly from this emerging line of judicial thinking.
We take a closer look at these three cases below and provide you with some key takeaways.Continue Reading English Courts’ Stance on Low-Value Data Breach Claims Continues to Harden, But There May be Hiccups Along the Way
