Join CCBCA for a webinar hosted by Troutman Pepper Locke, where we will explore the latest developments in credit card bank compliance. Our expert panel will cover key topics, including current regulatory challenges, the increasing role of states like CA DFPI and the NY FAIR Act including potential federal preemption arguments, and evolving privacy issues. We’ll also discuss the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in credit card bank operations and its compliance implications, as well as best practices for managing FCRA compliance when using AI for decisioning, implications for credit scores, alternative data, and onboarding new AI vendors.

In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, artificial intelligence is transforming how businesses operate, bringing both opportunities and challenges. One challenge is the rapidly emerging patchwork of state and local AI laws and regulations. Last year alone, state lawmakers introduced over 500 bills on various AI topics and issues. In this webinar, we will bring order to the chaos and provide attendees with an overview of the existing AI laws and regulations. To drive understanding and comprehension, we will use a unique topic and use-case based approach breaking the laws down across topics, including consumer disclosure obligations, risk assessment requirements, pricing algorithms, employee-specific issues, provenance, and frontier model laws. Attendees will walk away not only with an understanding of the current state and local legal requirements governing AI but also with a framework to understand and digest new laws enacted moving forward.

As states continue to advance privacy and AI legislation, organizations face an increasingly complex compliance landscape. This webinar will highlight the latest state-level developments, including laws taking effect in the coming months and those recently enacted. Our speakers will cover key trends across consumer privacy, AI regulation, health and children’s data privacy, data broker requirements, and emerging enforcement actions—and what these changes mean for your business.

The Data Security Program (DSP), a new regulatory regime imposing complex data compliance and security requirements — unlike any in existing U.S. law — took effect in part in April, with the final effective date being October 6. Its novelty and complexity may surprise many companies. Join Troutman Pepper Locke for a discussion of key best practices your company should be aware of regarding the DSP.

In this webinar, we will cover emerging industry-specific and general best practices, including around the following critical topics:

  • How to confirm your company is outside the scope of the DSP (or, when in scope, how to remove the company from the applicability of the DSP).
  • What companies are doing that believe they are not subject to the DSP – you may be surprised.
  • Industry-specific guidance for financial services, health care, insurance, and others.
  • Preparing for the audit – essential steps in light of the October 6, 2025, audit period start date.
  • Tips for contractual language.
  • CISA – how companies are enhancing security to prepare for and demonstrate compliance.
  • Next steps for navigating the road ahead.

A Q&A will follow the presentation.

Class action plaintiffs’ lawyers have made tens of thousands of demand letters and have filed over 1,800 class action lawsuits against businesses across the US under the California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA) and similar wiretapping laws. They claim data transfers via third-party cookies, pixels, and trackers without consent are illegal “interceptions” under these laws. CIPA provides for up to $5,000 in damages per violation – this is not hypothetical as new lawsuits are filed each week. At the same time, state privacy regulators and Attorneys General are aggressively investigating and enforcing against companies whose opt-in or opt-out and consent management processes have failed to prevent personal information transfers using tracking technologies. They are also on the lookout for so-called “dark patterns” related to consent management.

Join our webinar to explore solutions and strategies for balancing legal, technological, and business interests. This session is crucial for legal, marketing, product development, and broader business stakeholders. We will:

  • Summarize the current legal risk landscape and theories from plaintiffs and regulators.
  • Conduct a live tracking technology scan.
  • Highlight a spectrum of risk-based options and tradeoffs to mitigate exposure.
  • Discuss approaches for managing risk while achieving business objectives.

Participants will gain insights into the applicability, timing, and scope of cybersecurity audits, including the requirements for businesses to conduct audits based on revenue thresholds and risk factors. We will explore the detailed requirements for audit reports, including the documentation of cybersecurity measures and identification of potential data breach risks.

We also will analyze the new regulation providing guidance for how insurance companies should comply with the CCPA regulations. Finally, we will discuss updates to the existing regulations, including cookie banners, privacy policies, and opt-out preference signals. Attendees will leave with a comprehensive understanding of how these changes impact their operations and the steps necessary to maintain compliance.
