Education/WorkshopTeach Me How: The Effects of Privacy Regulation on Marketing & Advertising
While national privacy regulations and guidelines have been proposed, there is no single federal law with which all fifty states are required to comply. Rather, there are piecemeal efforts by individual states to take matters into their own hands. Several states have smaller scale privacy regulations but none as potentially influential as the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), slated to go into effect January 2020. We will cover a brief history of relevant privacy regulations including a birds eye view of the General Data Privacy Rule from the EU (“GDPR”), gain an understanding of the relevant CCPA provisions, and most importantly discuss how these regulations and the push for a national privacy regulation affects the marketing and advertising industry.
