CDF Webinar: Top Tips for California Employers to Prepare for the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) Effective January 1, 2023
Following the passage of the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), for the past two years, employers have been partially exempt from many of the California Consumer Privacy Act’s (CCPA) mandates pertaining to applicants, employees, and contractors. However, effective January 1, 2023, the partial exemption expires and covered employers should be ready to fully implement CCPA and CPRA with respect to their workforce. Likewise, the B2B exemption will disappear on January 1, 2023, which previously excluded personal information gathered from individuals representing a business that conducted business with a CCPA-covered entity.
During this one-hour webinar on October 26, 2022, from 10-11:00 a.m. (Pacific), CDF attorneys Dan M. Forman, Linda Wang, and Dalia Z. Khatib will discuss the impact of CCPA/CPRA in the employment relationship, including:
– Covered Employers
– Personal Information and Sensitive Personal Information
– Data Mapping
– Notices to Employees
– Privacy Policies as They Pertain to Employees
– Requests from Employees Regarding Privacy Rights, Correction, and Deletion of Private Information
– Reasonable Security Procedures
– CPRA Proposed Regulations
– California Privacy Protection Agency
– Safe Harbor Notices, Enforcement Actions, and Projected Litigation
