Data Privacy for Retailers: Recent Developments in CCPA and GDPR

If you are unable to participate in the live webinar but would like to receive a link to the recording, please let us know by requesting here.

In recent years, retailers have devoted significant amount of time and resources to comply with the European Union's groundbreaking data privacy regulation – the GDPR, the impact of which continues to evolve. On January 1, 2020, California's similarly expansive data privacy law, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) becomes effective. While the CCPA echoes many of the GDPR's broad themes with respect to data privacy and protection, the CCPA contains unique and often onerous requirements for retailers requiring a fresh compliance framework. Therefore, whether your business is located in the United States, Europe, or elsewhere, the expansive scope of both the GDPR and the CCPA may require your business to comply with and balance unique sets of data privacy obligations.
