Subject
Californian and US data privacy law.
Significance
On January 1 next year, California’s data privacy law takes effect. The law is the first such state statute and is likely to become a bellwether for the rest of the country.
Impacts
Other states are likely to pass similar statutes to California’s; New York is debating a stricter such law.
Larger firms that have already complied with the EU GDPR privacy regulations have a business advantage.
Some companies may struggle to comply in time with California’s new data privacy requirements.
