Dorsey & Whitney Announces California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) Compliance Services Suite
Summary
In addition to requiring businesses to update privacy policies and processes for dealing with personal information, the CCPA also, for the first time in US history, imposes class action statutory liability against organizations that suffer a data breach after failing to implement reasonable security practices and procedures. Chair of Dorsey’s Cybersecurity, Privacy and Social Media Practice Group, Jamie Nafziger, said, “Given the large financial risk CCPA poses for companies interacting with California residents, we designed these packages with a risk-based approach. Dorsey’s Cybersecurity, Privacy & Social Media practice group advises clients on a wide range of issues including compliance with state and federal laws, data breach responses, and litigated matters. The firm continues to advise numerous clients on the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), another sweeping change in the privacy landscape that went into effect in 2018. Dorsey represents a number of the worlds most successful companies from a wide range of industries, including leaders in banking & financial institutions, development & infrastructure, energy & natural resources, food, beverage & agribusiness, healthcare and technology, as well as major non-profit and government entities.
