New Legal Requirements on Data Privacy and Cybersecurity

Overview of new key data protection and security requirements including the New York SHIELD Act and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). In 2020 two new broad laws at a state level create significant new requirements on companies with data on residents of New York or California. These new requirements require companies to have comprehensive cybersecurity programs to protect the data, a detailed privacy policy to disclose to consumers the data they collect and sell, and new consumer rights to get information about and delete consumer data being collected.
