United States: states fill the gaps in the absence of a federal privacy law
Kirkland lawyers Lisa Madigan, Sunil Shenoi, Maureen Gallagher and Cecilia Brisuda authored “United States: states fill the gaps in the absence of a federal privacy law,” which was included in Global Investigation Review’s Guide to Cyber and Data Privacy Investigations - Fourth Edition. The Guide to Cyber and Data Privacy Investigations provides a deep dive into the cyber and data protection regimes of key jurisdictions around the world and identifies pressing topics to consider when implementing a response template.
The chapter provides an overview of relevant privacy laws, such as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLB), the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and various state privacy laws and their relevance in cross-border investigations, including:
- The rights of individuals in investigations;
- Considerations when third parties are involved in the processing of personal data;
- The transferring of data to regulators or enforcement authorities, including internationally; and
- Enforcement, sanctions and penalties for non-compliance with data privacy laws.
