Without a doubt, 2023 was the Year of Health Data Privacy, with a spate of new consumer health data privacy laws, FTC enforcement actions focused on the health privacy space, HHS OCR guidance about tracking technologies and HIPAA compliance, and a virtual tsunami of privacy litigation aimed at health care providers using common website analytics and advertising tools.

11:45 AM – 12:45 PM | Ad Tech and Consent
(1.0 Hour of MCLE Credit)

Let’s talk about…shhh…don’t say it…..CONSENT – Consent is required under privacy laws in several contexts, but due to revenue implications, especially in ad tech, it’s often avoided like the plague and treated as the “mechanism that must not be named.” If we bring it to the surface though, a lot can be learned about options when it comes to consent. Join our ad tech panelists to unpack and understand some of the pressing issues around consent including exploring the different types of consent, what they mean for revenue streams, and how these impacts might be addressed. We will explore financial incentives and loyalty programs and consent, and also look to what we may be able to learn from other jurisdictions (e.g., the PUR model in Germany) about this increasingly important and pivotal aspect of privacy compliance.

2:30 PM – 3:30 PM | Building Trust Across Borders: The US-EU Data Privacy Framework
(1.0 Hour of MCLE Credit)

In July, the US-EU Data Privacy Framework (“DPF”) went into effect. But it certainly hasn’t been quiet since then! US organizations have been slow to certify to the Framework, companies continue to prefer the SCCs as their transfer mechanism of choice, there has already been a failed legal challenge (not Schrems!) internationally, and the data protection review court has been established. So, will the DPF survive or thrive? Our panel of experts will weigh-in on the pros and cons of certifying to the DPF, discuss whether the framework is future-proof, and opine on if and when other litigations may step into the picture.

Moderator: Mark Webber, US Managing Partner at FieldFisher

Anonymized and deidentified data is playing a bigger role in the data-driven economy as businesses seek to train AI models and operate in a privacy-forward environment. Our panelists will discuss new methods of anonymization and deidentification, highlight requirements under existing and new privacy laws and AI frameworks, and explore how technological advances may make it increasingly difficult to meet regulators’ requirements for truly anonymous data.
