In the Tech Law Hangout this week, host Jordan Becker welcomes Meredith Halama to discuss privacy laws and regulations in the United States and their impact on technology companies. Meredith discusses the evolving nature of privacy laws, including recent changes in U.S. federal laws. She also highlights the growing trend toward more comprehensive regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and the need for a broader privacy law to address issues outside of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). 

“Companies should invest in privacy basics and build on that as they expand.” — Meredith Halama
