#Privacylaws #StateAGs / #PrivacyAgency #Enforcement - 2024 is already hopping. We're hosting a webinar next Tuesday, prioritizing our focus on some of the key #businesspractices at issue, with practical perspectives on how to handle these inquiries should you receive one (and what ❌ not to do). We'll also do a read out on some of the notable commentary/signals from various state enforcement offices over this past month, including the CA Privacy Summit happening today and tomorrow. Once upon a time, Paul Singer sat on the other side of the table from me leading many a #multistate focusing on a wide range of #data / #consumerprotection practices, and, even when the facts were messy 🐻, we managed to resolve a lot of #investigations over the years with 🆒 heads. This time, I get to interview him as a colleague, and look forward to hearing his take on today's developments, how he might have viewed different types of responses to such inquiries, and what factors helped to de-escalate. One thing I can promise: it will not be boring! 🎬 Registration info at https://lnkd.in/efmtnwWG Kelley Drye & Warren LLP Kelley Drye Advertising Law

If you're ready to get a handle on these changes, and find a system for success, I hope you'll join us for this webinar next week: https://hubs.la/Q02y_xX00

Moore signed the Maryland Kids Code which is designed to limit the data that can be collected from kids and invasive online practices.
