California Hosts Virtual Panel on Privacy Laws

On May 28, California will be the focal point for a significant virtual panel discussing the evolving landscape of privacy laws. This event, which starts at 12:00 p.m. PST (3:00 p.m. EST), will be co-moderated by Kyle Kessler, a partner with Womble Bond Dickinson, and will bring together multiple chapters of the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP) from various regions across the state.

The panel aims to shed light on the operations of the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) and the California Attorney General’s office. Key discussion points will include collaborative partnerships, enforcement roles within privacy legislation, crucial focus areas for privacy laws, and valuable compliance and best practice recommendations for companies navigating this complex regulatory environment.

Prominent Panelists

Joining Kessler as co-moderators are a selection of industry experts. Notable participants include Attorney General Yen P. (TiTi) Nguyen, who serves as the Deputy Attorney General for the Privacy Unit in the Consumer Protection Section of the California Attorney General’s Office; and Michael Macko, Deputy Director of Enforcement for the California Privacy Protection Agency. Other moderators for the panel include David Stone, Christy Hsu, and Anjella Shirkhanloo, all of whom bring substantial expertise in the field of privacy and data protection.

Growing Importance of Privacy Laws

The upcoming panel illustrates the increasing significance of privacy as a topic of conversation and policy-making in California’s digital landscape. As issues surrounding consumer data protection gain more traction, the state has been at the forefront of creating and enforcing laws aimed at safeguarding individuals’ privacy rights. The CPPA was established in 2020 with the intent to enhance consumer protection and ensure that privacy laws are comprehensively enforced. The discussions on May 28 will aim to clarify how collaborative efforts can elevate these protections while effectively guiding businesses in compliance.

International Association of Privacy Professionals

The IAPP, founded in 2000, is a not-for-profit organization focused on defining, promoting, and enhancing the professions of privacy, artificial intelligence governance, and digital accountability on a global scale. The organization provides a platform for professionals to engage in dialogue about the challenges they face while also sharing best practices. The joint meeting of multiple IAPP KnowledgeNet Chapters not only emphasizes the collaborative spirit among privacy professionals but also reflects a concerted effort to raise awareness and adapt to the ever-evolving regulatory landscape.

Event Participation

Participants interested in the virtual panel are encouraged to register in advance and sign up for email updates to receive fresh content and insights related to the discussion. The event is open to professionals from various sectors who recognize the increasing relevance of privacy laws and their implications on business practices.

As privacy concerns persist and adapt in California and beyond, initiatives like this panel play a crucial role in educating, informing, and fostering dialogue among privacy professionals, ultimately enhancing consumer protection standards throughout the digital spectrum.
