4 Principles to Improve Your Data Privacy Program

According to the most recent Chief Legal Officers Survey conducted by the Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC), 60% of respondents reported that they expect to see an increase in the volume of privacy regulatory enforcement in 2022. This should come as little surprise, since we are in a ramp-up period to new and more stringent regulation, with legislation in various states coming into force next year. Meanwhile the pending California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) creates and funds a separate enforcement agency. And a new privacy law in China, while only six months old, is already causing concern given the Chinese government’s reputation for stringent regulatory enforcement. Moreover, there are also sweeping privacy laws being revised, enacted or actively enforced in Canada, India and Brazil.
