As part of its Cyber Savy webinar series, McDonald Hopkins will present "2023 State Data Privacy Laws: Understanding The Impact and Preparing For Compliance" on Thursday, September 29, from 2 to 3 p.m.
State legislatures have led the way to pass comprehensive data privacy laws and regulatory frameworks. California passed the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) in 2018 and began enforcing the law in 2020. California has already amended the CCPA, and several other states have passed their own versions. These new data privacy laws are scheduled to go into effect in 2023.
In this webinar presented by the McDonald Hopkins Data Privacy & Cybersecurity Practice Group, attorneys Christine Czuprynski and Heather Shumaker of the firm's Detroit office, along with Beth Gillin of the firm's Cleveland office, will provide an overview of these laws, and offer practical guidance for compliance. The webinar will cover the similarities and differences between these regulatory frameworks so that businesses can be prepared for what is coming next year.
Topics to be covered include:
• California Consumer Privacy Act/California Privacy Rights Acts
• Colorado Privacy Act
• Connecticut Data Privacy Act
• Utah Consumer Privacy Act
• Virginia Consumer Data Privacy Act
