JCCI・Nippon Club・Nishimura & Asahi Data Privacy Law Seminar
“Overview and steps to be taken in preparation for enforcement of the CPRA in California and how to deal with data breach incidents”
Wednesday, February 10, 2021 (11:00 a.m. – noon)
On November 3, 2020, the State of California voted to enact the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), which introduces a significant expansion of the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). CPRA applies to, among other things, employee information and business contacts, and expands the scope of class actionable personal data breaches. Companies that retain any personal information of Californian residents need to carefully review their current practices.
During the seminar, the speakers will provide an overview of the CPRA and the steps companies should take by January 1, 2023 when the CPRA takes effect. We will also discuss how companies should prepare for inevitable data breaches, and dealing with the authorities and class action lawsuits in the United States.
The webinar will be held in Japanese, but The Nippon Club will be providing real-time subtitles in English through Wordly.
