About

Thanks for visiting the Stoel Rives’ Global Privacy and Security Blog.

Contracts, laws and regulations require privacy compliance, and good business practices demand it. This blog is designed to inform our clients and readers about developing privacy issues and regulatory updates, and provide alerts on cyber security stories and data breaches that impact various data privacy and security requirements. We’ll take a look at what happened (or is happening) and how these events and issues might affect your organization’s privacy practice, and steps you can take that may reduce the potential impact of a data breach.

If you have any questions about a post, we encourage you to leave us a comment or contact the post author(s) via email.
