Privacy, cybersecurity, and AI regulation continue to be front and center in all aspects of business operations. Two additional states, Oklahoma and Alabama, have recently passed comprehensive consumer privacy laws, increasing the patchwork enforcement framework across the country, while federal laws continue to be proposed but may not be any closer than before.
At the same time, regulators have accelerated enforcement actions against companies that do not comply with state laws, and privacy litigation continues to flood dockets with claims for violations of the California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA) and the Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA). Companies are also facing increased regulatory scrutiny over the collection and use of health data and minors’ data, while also navigating uncertain waters with respect to the intersection of artificial intelligence governance and consumer privacy.
Our 2026 Spring Privacy Report examines key developments shaping the privacy, cybersecurity, and AI landscape this year, along with practical considerations for businesses. View the full report here.
