Top 10 Privacy Impacts of 2020 & What to Watch for in 2021

Winston’s Global Privacy Group, Sean Wieber and Eric Shinabarger, hosted a webinar highlighting the 2020 privacy impacts. 

2020 was a momentous year. In addition to the global pandemic that has affected all of us, 2020 also saw the debut of new privacy laws and an explosion of privacy and data security issues arising from the switch to remote work and use of communications technologies and platforms to support that work. Our team of experts discussed:

• The California privacy law changes, including CCPA enforcement and the CPRA 
• State and federal privacy law updates
• Continued threats under TCPA and BIPA
• GDPR, Schrems, and Brexit 
• Privacy in emerging technology (IoT, AI, and facial recognition) 
• The rise of ransomware and new data security requirements 
• Privacy issues on deck for 2021

This presentation was designed to help companies identify privacy and data security risks and addressed privacy developments on the horizon.
