Episode 8 of Venable’s Ad Law Tool Kit Show, Season 2, is now available. Listen to “State Privacy Laws” here, or search for it in your favorite podcast player.

State privacy laws continue to evolve rapidly, challenging businesses to keep pace. By the end of 2024, businesses will need to comply with up to nine comprehensive state privacy laws, with more laws slated to come into force in 2025 and 2026. To date, all such laws draw inspiration from both the first comprehensive state privacy law—the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)—and the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). But there are differences.

In this episode, Venable partner Kelly Bastide discusses which laws, if any, apply to your business and how to develop a practical compliance program that harmonizes with the different laws.

Venable’s Ad Law Tool Kit Show will help you identify potentially problematic advertising and marketing practices, or avoid them altogether. The Season 2 episodes examine such topics as Made in USA claims, litigation trends in privacy laws, and marketing to children.

If you have specific questions after listening to this episode, don’t hesitate to contact me or Kelly to arrange a conversation. You can also download the complete Tool Kit or bookmark the link to our e-book for quick access to these industry best practices.
