It’s not just California any longer. While the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) took up most of the privacy headlines in the U.S. over the previous few years, now Virginia, Colorado and others have entered the conversation to make state privacy laws more than a one-state concept in the U.S. And add to that expansive laws in China, the EU and elsewhere, and privacy compliance can become quickly tricky.

But privacy isn’t just a regulatory consideration; it’s a technological one as well. The Internet of Things, biometric technologies, website cookies and more are forcing the legal industry to reevaluate what privacy means, and where it stands in the business world of the future.
