2022 Regulatory Privacy Year in Review

Regulators at all levels of government demonstrated their intensifying interest in consumer privacy and cybersecurity matters throughout 2022. The regulatory attention can be attributed in part to the rapid adoption of smart technology, which not only offers countless benefits to industry and consumers, but also has the potential to encroach upon the most private aspects of life. As regulators attempt to strike a balance that promotes innovation, while also protecting consumer privacy in a data-driven world, regulatory and legislative initiatives that define the contours of domestic consumer privacy rights will continue to be a significant driver of regulatory oversight for the foreseeable future.
