Privacy Watch 2026: Key Risks, New Laws & What to Watch

The privacy landscape is shifting—fast. New laws are taking effect, regulators are signaling stronger enforcement, and global frameworks are evolving in ways that will impact businesses of every size.

Join us on January 22 as we launch the 2026 edition of our popular Privacy Watch webinar series with attorneys Josh Stevens and Nick Whisler breaking down the regulatory developments and enforcement trends shaping the year ahead. Whether you’re leading compliance strategy, advising clients, overseeing data governance, or managing operational risk, this session will provide practical insight and clarity as we begin another pivotal year in privacy.

Topics Covered Include:

• Rising State-Level Threats: Which states are driving aggressive legislation, pushing novel requirements, or quietly expanding enforcement authority.
• Dark Patterns, AI, and Adtech Scrutiny: How regulators are approaching manipulative design, cross-contextual advertising, and AI-infused decision-making.
• GDPR Developments: Proposed changes designed to ease compliance burdens and their potential ripple effects for global businesses.
• Cybersecurity and Risk Assessments: What new and expanded requirements to conduct cybersecurity and risk assessments can mean for product planning and executive liability.

Start the year informed and ready. We hope to see you there!
