California Consumer Privacy Act Panel

The California Consumer Privacy Act Panel is a dedicated session focusing on the intricacies of the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). This panel is part of the Privacy-in-Practice conference, organized by the Center for Law + Innovation at the University of Maine School of Law, in collaboration with Pierce Atwood, Maine Center Ventures, and the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP).

The panel will delve into the CCPA's scope and application, offering practical guidance on compliance with consumer rights related to privacy disclosures, data access, deletion, and portability. It aims to clarify the law's restrictions on data sales to third parties, private rights of action, and anti-discrimination provisions. Additionally, for organizations already adhering to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the session will highlight the additional steps required to align with the CCPA.

Attendees will have opportunities to engage with experts in the field, including panel moderator Vivek Rao, to discuss real-world applications and challenges associated with the CCPA. The conference also provides a platform for networking with peers and industry leaders, fostering a collaborative environment for sharing insights and strategies.

This event is particularly beneficial for legal professionals, compliance officers, and business leaders seeking to understand and implement the CCPA's requirements. Maine attorneys attending the session will earn 6.5 Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credits, enhancing their professional development in the evolving landscape of data privacy law.
