Legal Developments Re: Privacy Compliance Law
- FPF Retrospective: U.S. Privacy Enforcement in 2025: This retrospective highlights a transition toward active enforcement led by California and Texas. Regulators prioritized children’s safety, location data, and deceptive AI marketing practices throughout 2025. OUR TAKEAWAY: Organizations must shift from baseline policy creation to active operational compliance to withstand increasingly aggressive state-level investigative sweeps. Read More →
- Why Privacy Programs Break: Privacy programs often fail under pressure due to operational gaps like ill-defined roles and fragmented assessments rather than technical flaws. These systemic inefficiencies create friction that leads to rework, delays, and rising costs during audits or rapid growth. OUR TAKEAWAY: Companies must prioritize operational resilience and clear accountability over manual, static workflows to ensure compliance remains sustainable during periods of high stress.

- A View from DC: Privacy on the Supreme Court Docket: This article highlights two pivotal cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, specifically focusing on the constitutionality of geofence warrants in Chatrie v. United States and a critical interpretation of the Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA) in Salazar v. Paramount Global. OUR TAKEAWAY: The Court’s upcoming decision on whether a “consumer” under the VPPA must subscribe to a specific video service or merely any service (like a newsletter) will likely determine the future viability of the current wave of pixel-related class-action litigation.

- 5 Emerging Data Privacy Trends in 2026: As the privacy landscape continues to evolve, 2026 is marked by a heightened focus on children’s digital safety, the widespread adoption of universal browser-level opt-out signals, and a shift toward “technical truth” in consent management. Regulators are increasingly scrutinizing whether businesses’ back-end systems actually honor user preferences, while simultaneously exploring legislative packages like the EU’s Digital Omnibus to streamline compliance burdens. Additionally, a rising awareness among U.S. consumers is driving a surge in subject rights requests and privacy-related complaints, making robust documentation and automated workflows essential for modern privacy programs.

- States Turn to Outside Firms to Generate Big Privacy Settlements: Numerous state attorneys general—including those from Texas, Nebraska, Minnesota, and Kentucky—are increasingly partnering with external law firms on a contingency basis to pursue high-value data protection lawsuits against major technology companies. This approach, reminiscent of tactics used in landmark tobacco litigation from the late 1990s, leverages specialized legal expertise to enforce evolving state privacy laws and protect consumer data rights. The collaborations have led to multi-million and even billion-dollar settlements, marking a significant development in privacy enforcement as states capitalize on outside counsel’s capabilities to address complex, large-scale data privacy challenges.

PwC’s Customer Experience Survey highlights a disconnect between brands’ drive for hyper-personalization and consumer expectations around privacy. While most customers will share some personal data for better service, nearly all will disengage from brands that misuse their information. Trust hinges on transparent data practices and perceived value—customers are wary of invasive demands, especially for sensitive or biometric data. AI-driven personalization and large language models add complexity, as brands often lose visibility over how data is used and risk undermining customer trust. The solution is adopting a privacy-first strategy: collect only what’s essential, explain data use clearly, leverage anonymized profiles, and make sure every tech upgrade delivers genuine customer benefit. Building trust is not just a compliance issue—it’s a competitive edge in the AI-driven customer experience landscape.
