Cooley Privacy Talks: Overview Of Privacy Enforcement Actions In The US And EU (Video)

This post relates to Cooley's Privacy Talks series - a webinar program featuring Cooley practitioners discussing practical guidance and best practices around managing data protection-related issues. Sessions range from the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) - and all the other new data protection frameworks arising in the US, Asia and Latin America. Sessions will occur on a monthly basis in 2022.

Since the entry into force of the GDPR in May 2018, companies in the European Union and the United States have faced increasing exposure to enforcement actions. Almost four years in, we have the hindsight to interpret the enforcement trends and quantify the risks by sectors, countries, and areas of compliance. Note: The figures mentioned in this post are based on publicly available sources accessed in December 2021.
