Litigation in Privacy and Data Security
Travis LeBlanc will be one of three speakers on this panel, which will discuss the evolving privacy and data security landscape and litigation arising from data breaches, failure to implement reasonable security measures, and violations of federal laws (including the Video Privacy Protection Act of 1988) and state-specific data privacy and biometric laws.
After completing this session, participants will be able to:
- Understand the privacy and data security litigation landscape, recent notable regulatory enforcement actions and what to track in the near future.
- Evaluate gating procedural issues for plaintiffs and strategic considerations for defendants.
- Recognize regulatory requirements to avoid potential litigation and enforcement actions.
- Manage data security incidents, maintain attorney-client privilege and defend against future litigation.

With several US state consumer privacy laws coming online this year and within the next couple of years – and even more being proposed – the regulatory landscape and approaches to compliance remain a moving target. During this session, the Cooley cyber/data/privacy team will take stock of the current laws and regulations (and drafts thereof) and address the “market” approaches for tackling some of the trickier compliance challenges related to these laws. We’ll focus on “how to” practical advice to help participants take the next step in their compliance journey.
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) imposes requirements on regulated businesses relating to conducting cybersecurity audits, risk assessments and use of automated decision-making technology. In late 2023, the California Privacy Protection Agency posted discussion drafts of regulations to guide its anticipated rulemaking on these topics. In this session, we will discuss the current state of the CCPAs’ compliance requirements relating to risk assessments, cybersecurity audits and automated decision-making, along with some general best practices Cooley recommends that regulated businesses consider when addressing these topics.
Companies are understandably keen to harness the transformative power of artificial intelligence (AI) by incorporating it into their business processes and consumer and enterprise offerings. The speed of innovation in this area presents possible risks to individuals’ privacy rights – in particular, those whose personal data may be used as part of the AI training dataset. Governments and regulators are playing catch-up. The European Union has reached political agreement on the EU AI Act, and President Joe Biden issued an executive order establishing standards for AI safety and security. In an uncertain and rapidly evolving regulatory environment, what can companies do to protect themselves? This session will explore the legal risks of using personal data to train AI models and practical strategies to mitigate those risks – including alternatives to using personal data.
