This Year in Privacy

North Carolina Bar Association Privacy & Data Security Section Program

Amy Worley and Richard Peters discussed practical approaches to developing and implementing an effective corporate data protection program.

Privacy and data security professionals are laboring under a bevy of new laws and regulations that signal an increased government interest in regulating businesses’ collection, use, and disclosure of individuals’ personal information.

Unlike countries with a comprehensive federal law, the United States still has a patchwork of privacy and security laws, making for a dizzying set of obligations for those trying to stay compliant.
