What you need to know: GDPR, CO & CA Privacy Laws

Attorney Jenifer McIntosh will talk about responsibilities and rights: what are peoples' rights with regard to their personal data, and what are companies' responsibilities with their use of personal data?

She'll run through the GDPR and CCPA, with a little touchpoint on the Colorado law. We can then get into what people need to be aware of with regard to their collection, use, and protection of personal data. We can also discuss what you can do for your own protection.

Some questions she will answer are:

1. What permission do you need to explicitly seek when you gather information from actions taken by the user on the site (e.g. purchasing a product, filling out a web form, signing up for a newsletter, registering to get access to content)?

2. What permission do you need to explicitly seek regarding cookies (e.g. tracking pixels, analytics scripts, etc.)?

3. What do you need to do in terms of privacy policies, data retention policies, informing people of data compromise (which data), deleting of data, etc.?

ABOUT JENIFER:
