The Data Chronicles

Data minimization is a challenging opportunity

Data minimization is now a popular data protection requirement for policy makers.  Whether it’s in established laws like HIPAA, GDPR or the CCPA, or the emerging state laws, lawmakers increasingly expect that businesses will only collect, use, and retain only the minimum amount of personal data. That’s easier said than done.
 
While the requirement seems straightforward, it is very difficult to implement or even to know where to start. Matt McClelland, Managing Director & IG Practice Leader at Ankura, joins host Scott Loughlin to explore data minimization strategies, including as part of larger data governance programs. While challenging, learning how to approach data minimization can create lasting value for data-driven businesses' AI and cyber risk management.

Fake reviews no more | The FTC’s new rule and what it means for AI and you

Host Scott Loughlin, along with Hogan Lovells lawyers Lance Murashige and Harsimar Dhanoa, will explore how these regulations will impact ecommerce and create a new regulatory overhang for user reviews. This discussion will provide valuable insights into the impact of these changes on both businesses and consumers.
