Heading into 2026, U.S. companies can expect to face an increasingly volatile and fragmented privacy compliance landscape. Regulators are poised to intensify enforcement, public attention to privacy issues continues to grow, and class action litigation over the use of online tracking technologies shows few signs of slowing. Although no new comprehensive state privacy laws passed in 2025, the year was anything but quiet. California introduced demanding new regulations, other states amended existing privacy laws to tighten exemptions and add new rights and obligations, and enforcement actions highlighted compliance expectations. Targeted laws also emerged, addressing issues such as minors’ data, text message marketing, data brokers, and AI accountability. Join us to explore practical strategies for a compliant 2026.

- Lessons from 2025 and what they mean for your privacy strategy
