What You Need to Know
- Stradley Ronon's David Piper, who specializes in privacy and cybersecurity matters, discussed the origins of the recent surge in California privacy claims brought under the California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA).
- Enterprising lawyers, he said, are using a statute that dates back to the 1960s to litigate modern-day data privacy cases.
- More and more states will continue to implement consumer privacy laws until the federal government acts, he said. Until then, we will see more litigation.
David Piper, a partner at Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young's Long Beach, California, office who specializes in privacy and cybersecurity matters, spoke with The Recorder in a Q&A this week about the recent explosion in California privacy claims brought under the California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA), how businesses can prepare for future privacy regulations, and where he thinks state and federal privacy laws are headed next.
