Episode 172 — May 2024 Data Privacy News: Vermont / Illinois Biometric Changes / Trends Report

Data Privacy Detective

Vermont joined the “we have a data privacy code” group - almost a third of U.S. states now with a statute devoted to personal data privacy. Illinois modifies its code on biometrics to soften business costs of compliance. DataGrail’s 2024 Data Privacy Trends report focuses on a surge in data subject requests. Join Yugo Nagashima of Frost Brown Todd, Brion St. Amour of the Wabash Marketplace, and the Data Privacy Detective for an update on May 2024 developments.

Tune in to see how Vermont provides a specific private right of action and details compliance requirements beyond what first adopter states specify. See how Illinois is balancing the interest in personal privacy about use of biometric information against what became a heavy class action defense cost per individual violation. And consider the rising tide of Data Subject Requests (DSR’s) from the important April 30, 2024 report by DataGrail - and what it means for organizations and individuals. https://www.datagrail.io/blog/privacy-trends/privacy-trends-2024/
