It’s no surprise that a US federal privacy law is the current talk of the privacy community. There have been MANY recent developments with individual US state privacy laws, along with numerous additional legislation on the horizon. With the advent of the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) and the Virginia Consumer Data Privacy Act (CDPA) plus activity with the Washington Privacy Act (WPA) and Oklahoma Computer Privacy Safety Act, there's a lot to focus on.
The changing privacy landscape can make it tricky for privacy leaders to stay up to date as they manage their privacy programs. And there's no indication US privacy regulation changes will slow down in 2021. While it may feel like a bad game of "Whack-a-Mole," there are ways to keep your company in-the-know and empowered as more regulations pop up.
This webinar will review:
-Recent developments in US state privacy laws
-US federal privacy law predictions
-Best practices and tips on how your company can keep up

Oklahoma
Current status:
If passed, businesses that do business in Oklahoma or collect consumers' PI must comply with
consumers' requests for access and portability (within 45 days of receipt of request), cannot
discriminate against a consumer for exercising any consumer right (including denying goods or
services), and must provide notice to consumers that their information may be sold; violations
are liable for civil penalties between $2,500 and 7,500.
Next steps:
● If passed, this Act will take effect on January 1, 2023 due to the latest bill amendments.
Oklahoma Computer Data Privacy Act (OCDPA) / HB 1602

New York
Current status:
The Act is identical to the version introduced in the previous Senate sitting; if passed, covered
entities must comply with consumers' requests for disclosure, access, correction and deletion
of personal data, cessation of processing, and data portability, and will have a fiduciary
responsibility to exercise a duty of care and confidentiality over personal data in its possession;
consumers may bring a private right of action for damages, and the attorney general may
impose civil penalties for violations.
Next steps:
● If passed, the Act will take effect on the 180th day after it becomes law.
New York Privacy Act (NYPA or A680) + Multiple Bills
11. 11

Washington
Current status:
If passed, consumers must be provided one or more secure and reliable means to submit a
consumer request (e.g., data portability, erasure, opt-out), risks assessments must be
conducted when processing personal data for purposes of targeted advertising, and covered
data must be deleted or deidentified when such data is no longer being used for such
purposes; the AG may may initiate an action and seek damages of up to $7,500 for each
violation of this Act.
Next steps:
● This bill covers both private sector management of consumer personal data and privacy
and public sector management of data processed for a public health emergency (i.e.,
COVID-19)

Florida
Current status:
If passed, businesses must comply with opt-out requests within 15 days (including requests received
from authorized persons), make available a notice that is reasonably accessible to all consumers
whose PI is collected, and comply with deletion, correction, and access requests (deletion and
correction requests must be responded to within 30 days); consumers can recover damages ranging
between $100 and $750 for violations of this Act.
Next steps:
● If passed, this Act will take effect July 1, 2022 due to the latest amendments made to the bill
● The revised bill has also removed the private right of action provision, and limited the amount of
businesses required to comply with the Act (i.e., the Act would only apply to businesses that
annually buy, sell or share the personal info from 100,000 or more users or that generate at
least 50% of its global annual revenue from selling or sharing personal information about
consumers).

delete, and opt-out. Businesses cannot disclose consumer’s PI for a business or commercial
purpose, or use the consumer’s precise geolocation data for a purpose other than to provide

Next steps:

Poll Question
What do you think the time frame is for getting a US federal privacy law in place?
● This year
● Within the next 4 years
● Not anytime in predictable future
● There shouldn't be one

Federal Regulation
● Several promising bills have been introduced in the past, with most disagreement
centering on private rights of action and federal preemption
● Once again, current proposed legislation seems promising
○ Information Transparency and Personal Data Control Act - Rep DelBene
■ HR 1816
○ Most bills target specific areas of privacy - contact tracing, research, etc.
● How many state laws will it take to encourage Congress to pass legislation?
○ Are the differences among the states operationally impactful?
○ Keep in mind, every state has a data breach notification law
● Would other federal laws simply be expanded and strengthened?
● Consider global implications and impact
