Overview
Presented in a question-and-answer format, Privacy Law Answer Book makes clear sense of the patchwork of federal, state, and international laws and regulations that govern how private-sector entities handle consumers’ electronic data and personal information in commercial settings. In particular, this book addresses online privacy policies, the Children’s Online Privacy and Protection Act (COPPA), mobile device privacy, financial privacy, medical privacy, workplace privacy, online behavioral advertising and tracking, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and other recent state privacy laws, and privacy enforcement and litigation. The book concludes with a brief survey of global privacy issues for U.S. lawyers, with an emphasis on the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). In addressing these topics, this book aims to address the practical daily needs of both expert privacy attorneys and those attorneys who encounter privacy topics in their practice but who may not specialize in these areas of the law.
