Last night, the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) published agenda materials for its upcoming meeting on February 3, 2023.  The materials include:

  • Proposed final draft regulations implementing the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).  These do not reflect further changes since the draft regulations that the CPPA put out for a 15-day comment period on November 3, 2022.
  • A draft Final Statement of Reasons, which explains the reasoning behind the changes to the draft rules.
  • An invitation for public comment on preliminary questions for a second wave of rulemaking.  These questions focus on potential rulemaking on annual cybersecurity audits, risk assessments, and automated decision-making.

The meeting notice includes discussion and possible adoption of the proposed final regulations.  If finalized, the rules are subject to a 30-day review from the California Office of Administrative Law.

Andrew Longhi advises national and multinational companies across industries on a wide range of regulatory, compliance, and enforcement matters involving data privacy, telecommunications, and emerging technologies.

Andrew’s practice focuses on advising clients on how to navigate the rapidly evolving legal landscape of state, federal, and international data protection laws. He proactively counsels clients on the substantive requirements introduced by new laws and shifting enforcement priorities. In particular, Andrew routinely supports clients in their efforts to launch new products and services that implicate the laws governing the use of data, connected devices, biometrics, and telephone and email marketing.

Andrew assesses privacy and cybersecurity risk as a part of diligence in complex corporate transactions where personal data is a key asset or data processing issues are otherwise material. He also provides guidance on generative AI issues, including privacy, Section 230, age-gating, product liability, and litigation risk, and has drafted standards and guidelines for large-language machine-learning models to follow. Andrew focuses on providing risk-based guidance that can keep pace with evolving legal frameworks.
