Privacy Landscape in 2024

This year has seen significant and impactful changes to privacy laws across the United States. Seven states—Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Minnesota, Maryland, Kentucky, and Rhode Island—have enacted comprehensive privacy laws, set to take effect between January 1, 2025 and January 1, 2026.
