Law360 has published the article “Calif. Privacy Law Resembles, Transcends EU Data Regulation,” written by Akin Gump partners Natasha Kohne and Michelle Reed, co-heads of the firm’s cybersecurity, privacy and data protection practice, and associate Rachel Kurzweil. They were joined by counsel Jenny Arlington and Molly Whitman.
The article discusses the recently passed California Privacy Rights Act, which represents “the second time in two years that California has instituted a comprehensive privacy statute that fundamentally changes data privacy practices for most enterprises doing business” in the state. The authors note that several provisions of the new law “are based on European Union General Data Protection Regulation principles with an eye toward obtaining an adequacy decision from the European Commission.”
