The state of US privacy

It seems like yesterday that California was welcoming Virginia onto the map of US states with comprehensive privacy laws. Since then, the count has reached nearly 20 comprehensive state privacy laws that now make up the regulatory patchwork in the US. For many organizations, this has meant that the complexity of their compliance obligations has grown seemingly overnight. 

While many of the state-level privacy laws in the US contain similar provisions there are several significant differences that need to be considered in any privacy compliance program. To give just one example, all current privacy laws in the US give consumers the right to opt-out of certain types of processing activity such as profiling and targeted advertising. However, precisely which processing activities consumers have the right to opt-out of varies from law to law. This, and the differences introduced within the federal legislation, make navigating privacy in the US less than straightforward.
