There’s a growing movement to balance a company’s right to collect consumer data and the customer’s right to privacy. California is leading the way with the recent passage of the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA.) This new law, however, comes with specific compliance challenges for all companies, both big and small.

We're now more than a year into the official implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), set into motion on May 25, 2018.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) wasn't the only consumer privacy bill signed into law in 2018.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR for short) is made up of eight different principles that outline the guidelines relating to how personal data and information is collected and processed. 

Roughly 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are generated every day -- and that unbelievable number is only going to continue to get higher. 

There are several key aspects of the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) that people are largely missing to date. Here, learn why the "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" provision of the CCPA could be a game changer for many companies. And learn how you can get a head start implementing the processes and systems to comply with the provision without hobbling the business.

Last year, the United States was listed as the global leader, in the science and technology markets. The US spends over $400 billion annually, in research and development costs to expand its science and technology capabilities. Along with these expanded capabilities, comes more responsibility to protect online data privacy rights for people as well.

Privacy regulations are expanding beyond the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), to include California’s Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and regulations in other states and countries as well. The landscape is changing fast, and it can seem like the only certainty is uncertainty, but nearly a year after the GDPR went into effect, there are insights and best practices that can be applied to the CCPA and beyond.
