FPF Unveils Report on the Anatomy of State Comprehensive Privacy Law

The Future of Privacy Forum (FPF) launched a new report—Anatomy of State Comprehensive Privacy Law: Surveying the State Privacy Law Landscape and Recent Legislative Trends. By distilling this broad landscape to identify the “anatomy” of state comprehensive privacy law, this report highlights the strong commonalities and the nuanced differences between the various laws, showing how they can exist within a common, partially-interoperable framework while also creating challenging compliance difficulties for companies within their overlapping ambits. Until a federal privacy law materializes, this ever changing state landscape will continue to evolve as lawmakers iterate upon the existing frameworks and add novel obligations, rights, and exceptions to respond to changing societal, technological, and economic trends.
