The Privacy Oracle: October 2019

The Privacy Oracle consolidates significant US legislative and regulatory developments at the state and federal level into a single publication. In this month’s issue, we offer the following:

• California Governor Gavin Newsom is expected to sign into law six amendments to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) — and a new proposal to amend the law further could be on the ballot next year;


• Discussion of the UK ICO’s recent warnings on online behavioral advertising amid reports that question the value of targeted advertising;


• Some reflections on establishing standing in data breach cases, illustrated by the ongoing dispute over standing in the OPM data breach litigation; and


• The Practitioner’s Corner examines the takeaways for in-house counsel from the FTC’s $170 million settlement with YouTube and Google for COPPA violations.
