The American Data Privacy and Protection Act is in some ways unclear, leading individual states to devise their own privacy laws. So, what do these regulations entail for cybersecurity companies?
According to privacy law expert David Stauss, states like Virginia and Colorado are developing laws emphasizing consent around personal data. Conversely, California will allow organizations to utilize sensitive data with certain restrictions. With disparities among each state’s regulations, David urges businesses to remain savvy and stay abreast of potential updates.
