David Stauss, a partner in Troutman Pepper Locke’s Privacy + Cyber Practice Group, was quoted in the February 13, 2026 Bloomberg Law article, “Protecting Geolocation Data Emerges as State Privacy Priority.”

  • For many companies, however, the impact of such legislation would be limited, said David Stauss, partner at Troutman Pepper Locke.
  • “If it’s prohibiting the sale, most companies are fine,” said Stauss. Legislation that would prohibit the processing of geolocation data would pose broader compliance challenges, he said.
  • Stauss cautioned that even if states don’t pass specific geolocation data protections, they can still bring enforcement actions against companies.
