Thursday, April 15 • 3:00 – 4:00 p.m. ET

We have long predicted that just as other states followed California in passing breach notification laws, states would follow in California’s footsteps in regulating information privacy practices with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA), which was later amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (CPRA). The Virginia state legislature recently became the first state to do so, surprising many with news that it quickly passed and signed into law comprehensive privacy legislation, namely the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (CDPA).

Join our speakers as they discuss Virginia’s CDPA and how it compares to California’s approach to privacy under the CCPA and CPRA.

Wednesday, March 31 • 3:00 – 4:00 p.m. ET

With no federal privacy legislation in sight, states are beginning to follow in the footsteps of California’s Consumer Privacy Act. Just recently, Virginia joined California by becoming the second state with comprehensive data privacy legislation. With more states in the pipeline to adopt their own frameworks, business leaders need to stay aware of ways new laws may implicate existing and planned business practices.

Join our speakers as they discuss the basic framework of a privacy compliance program. They will focus on several recent updates in the law that require updates to compliance programs and describe what possible changes should be considered.

Speakers:

  • Ronald Raether, Partner
  • David Anthony, Partner
  • Edgar Vargas, Attorney
  • Meg Nicholls, Chief Compliance Officer GIACT Systems, LLC
