Privacy Regulators Without Borders: Global rules, real accountability

As organizations expand their digital footprint and adopt data-heavy technologies (including AI), many are collecting, sharing, and storing more data than ever before—often without fully understanding its lifecycle within the organization or the foreign or domestic regulatory requirements tied to it. Marketing initiatives, data sharing “partnerships,” chatbots, customer or web traffic analytics, international shipping to remote employees and sister company engagements, even routine business operations can create unexpected privacy and regulatory risks.

McDonald Hopkins' Christa Kumming and Razvan Miutescu will explore how data moves throughout an organization, what triggers compliance concerns, and how businesses can evaluate both consumer-facing and workforce-related data practices with greater confidence and clarity.

Topics include:

• Data inventories or “mapping”: understanding the lifecycle of the data your organization processes
• Data retention and destruction — significant practical and legal challenges
• Expanding your data-heavy operations thoughtfully — domestically and internationally
• Navigating evolving compliance requirements
• Identifying common privacy and data protection compliance triggers
