Webinar | Knowing the latest data protection developments in America | Members only

Data protection in America is gaining momentum at a rapid pace! There are so many groundbreaking developments taking place. For example, in September, the UK Parliament finally gave effect to a UK-US Data Bridge which will enable American companies approved to join the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework to receive UK personal data under the new Data Bridge.

California’s data protection law is often seen as the gold standard of privacy laws in America when it became one of the first states to implement the California Consumer Protection Act. Now over the past few months, several more states in America, like Connecticut, Virginia, Colorado, and Utah, have enacted data protection laws.

While the status of America’s proposed federal data protection law hangs in the balance, there are still so many developments in the privacy and data protection landscape making waves. If enacted, the American Data Privacy and Protection Act would override most state laws governing privacy by invalidating any similar provisions in those laws.

Even without a federal privacy law, America has several federal laws that regulate privacy within a particular sector like health or finance. So, if you or your organisation have a footprint in America or customers there, you need to be aware of the data protection landscape at the state, sector, and federal levels.

Join the Michalsons team and our special guest all the way from California where we will equip you with the knowledge and practical tools you need to keep updated in the ever-evolving landscape of data protection.
