Privacy Is (Now) Your Business

Taylor English | 1600 Parkwood Circle, Suite 200, Atlanta, GA 30339

February 12, 2019

Please join us for an interactive panel discussion on recent privacy legislation that has just passed and what companies can do to be customer-focused. Until 2018, there was very little regulation of consumer privacy in the United States. This left companies in the U.S. free to collect and use information virtually without restriction and to not spend time and money investing in keeping customer and employee data secured, confidential and private.

2019 is a year of change – or at least it should be – regarding how U.S. companies treat the privacy of their employees and customers. The rules and norms are changing. Although some changes are required by law, the fact is that marketplace expectations are likely to drive changes in best practices, even where the law may not require them. Be prepared by moving your company ahead of the law and new customer demands.

As a friend of Taylor English and TransPerfect, we encourage you to attend at no cost.

Taylor English has applied for 1.5 CLE hours for this event.
