Their specific sessions are as follows:

Tara Cho—A Healthy Way of Looking at It: Analyzing Health Data Privacy Issues in Light of New Laws.

The theme of the 2024 NCBA Privacy & Data Security Section Annual Program will be “Navigating the New Frontier of Privacy and Data Security.” Health data is not just governed by HIPAA anymore, and the meaning of health data has also broadened. New and amended state privacy laws governing consumer health data have changed the landscape and raised novel questions and compliance challenges. This is happening while the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights (OCR), the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and other authorities have focused attention on health privacy, as well as security and breach reporting.

In this session, Cho, Surescripts’ Lauren Jones, and Ward and Smith’s Mayukh Sircar will undertake “real-time” analyses of various case studies involving health data to determine which laws apply, how they interplay, and the compliance obligations that arise.

Nadia Aram—Kids These Days: An Overview of Youth Privacy Laws and Compliance Strategies.

Developments in youth privacy laws have continued at a rapid pace in 2024, and both federal and state regulators have cited this topic as an enforcement priority. This session provides an overview of current legal obligations implicating youth privacy (such as the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act and recent FTC enforcement actions), common issues in youth privacy, and compliance strategies for privacy practitioners (such as parental controls, age assurance, advertising, and verifiable parental consent), as well as updates on youth privacy legislation.

Chloe Altieri of the Future of Privacy Forum will join Aram for this presentation.

Taylor Ey—Issue Spotting: Advising Clients and Business Stakeholders When Implementing Third-Party Technologies or Designing Digital Products and Services.

In our increasingly digital economy, often companies use technologies that collect and use personal data to support their business objectives. The use cases could reach any part of the business, such as in human resources for recruitment, talent development, and timekeeping; in supply chain with artificial intelligence-powered warehouse safety and security management; and in product development for customer-facing products and services like chatbots on websites or designing new mobile app features. This session explores data privacy and security legal issues that emerge when using these technologies (whether developed in-house or procured from third parties), outlines tips for advising clients on these issues in the dynamic U.S. and global data privacy and security legal environment and shares potential risk mitigation strategies.

Ey will be joined by Belk Inc.’s Alysja Carlisle, Bandwidth’s Laura Chipman, and Nicole Whitaker of Vuori.
