Alan L. Friel is Chair of Squire Patton Boggs’ Data Privacy, Cybersecurity & Digital Assets Practice. He is tier-1 ranked by Chambers, and BTI Consulting Group has named Alan a Client Service All-Star, recognizing lawyers who stand above all others in delivering exceptional client service. In this episode… Evolving privacy regulations like the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) are reshaping the way companies approach data management and compliance. CCPA’s proposed draft regulations would require certain businesses to conduct cybersecurity audits, privacy risk assessments, and implement governance surrounding automated decision-making and AI technologies. While these frameworks help protect consumer data, they also introduce operational challenges and increased expenses for companies. How can companies prepare for compliance while effectively managing data and reducing costs? Privacy compliance is more than a legal requirement — it’s a vital part of sound business strategy. Navigating compliance obligations requires companies to adopt a proactive approach to data governance. Businesses need to implement good data hygiene practices and conduct privacy risk assessments to identify and mitigate risks. These processes help businesses maintain their data inventory, respond to consumer privacy rights requests, and manage information assets. However, the legal landscape remains complicated, with questions about whether some regulatory requirements may conflict with First Amendment protections. In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels speak with Alan Friel, Chair of the Data Privacy, Cybersecurity & Digital Assets Practice at Squire Patton Boggs, about the costs, benefits, and legal implications of regulatory compliance. Alan explains why businesses should adopt privacy risk assessments as a best practice, regardless of ongoing legal uncertainties, and discusses the intersection of privacy regulations with free speech rights under the First Amendment.

Anna Hall is an educator, mother of two, and Co-founder of Embody, a privacy-forward menstrual health and wellness app. In this episode… As awareness grows around health data privacy, misconceptions about protecting menstrual health data remain widespread. That’s because menstrual health data is often commodified and can be shared or sold without explicit user consent, exposing sensitive information to third parties. With recent legal changes affecting reproductive rights, there is a greater need than ever for secure, user-controlled solutions. What steps should companies take to prioritize and protect sensitive health data? In a rapidly changing health tech landscape, most regulations haven’t adapted to cover personal wellness apps effectively, especially those designed for menstrual health tracking. Companies like Embody address this by implementing local encryption and avoiding default cloud storage, which safeguards privacy and encourages a user-first approach. By eliminating the need for logins and accounts, Embody limits data access, allowing users to track personal health information privately and securely. In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels talk with Anna Hall, Co-founder of Embody, about developing a privacy- and security-focused menstrual health app. Anna shares the story behind Embody and how the app prioritizes user privacy by eliminating user logins and passwords, keeping user data stored offline and locally on user devices. She highlights misconceptions about menstrual health data privacy and shares how Embody’s design directly addresses these challenges. With features like local encryption and plans to open-source their code, Embody aims to provide secure, user-controlled health tracking that upholds privacy standards.

The report underscores the importance of moving toward a more aligned model, where privacy, security, and AI governance are streamlined under cohesive leadership. This involves empowering privacy teams, implementing regular audits, fostering collaboration across departments, and avoiding reliance on ad hoc committees to align with evolving privacy regulations. In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels chat with Joe Jones, Director of Research and Insights at IAPP, about how companies can leverage insights from the IAPP Organizational Digital Governance Report to improve their digital governance frameworks.

Omer is also an Affiliate Scholar at the Stanford Center for Internet and Society and a Senior Fellow at the Future of Privacy Forum. Before Goodwin, he was the Chief Knowledge Officer at the IAPP. In this episode… The US privacy landscape is rapidly evolving, as more states enforce privacy regulations similar to California’s comprehensive privacy law. In 2025, eight new privacy laws will come into force — even states without comprehensive privacy laws are imposing regulations to protect consumer data. Notably, New York, where the New York Attorney General recently established guidelines around cookies and tracking technologies emphasizing the need for companies to properly categorize cookies and configure consent mechanisms. The NY AG has also proposed regulations surrounding kids' privacy, like the Child Data Protection Act, that will impact how companies process children’s data. As the US privacy landscape becomes an increasingly complex web of regulations, how can companies prepare for what lies ahead? Beyond New York, privacy regulations around kids' data are gaining momentum across the US, with laws like the California’s Age-Appropriate Design Code aiming to protect minors from harmful content. Regulations on kids' privacy include everything from age verifications that restrict the sale of minors’ data to design codes that protect children from exposure to harmful internet content. These guidelines have garnered pushback in states like California, where businesses claim violation of the First Amendment, consequently delaying enforcement. Regardless, companies should prepare to respond to these regulations that govern the collection, processing, and sale of children's data. In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels welcome Omer Tene, a Partner at Goodwin, to explore the complexities of evolving privacy regulations, specifically on children’s data. Omer shares his insights on the nuances of various privacy regulations, ethical challenges surrounding children’s data protection, and the potential future of privacy legislation.

As a relatively new law, many companies need to know its governance framework. What are the critical concepts of Law 25, and how does it apply to company compliance? Privacy lawyer and consultant Sharon Bauer explains that companies should understand Law 25’s key components: governance, privacy officer, transfer impact assessment, transparency, and employment. However, this privacy legislation does not apply to B2B businesses. Regarding privacy officers, Quebecian CEOs must either appoint a PO or hold themselves accountable for compliance with Law 25. Additionally, companies must adhere to the transfer impact assessment or privacy impact assessment when data is transferred outside of Quebec, when acquiring personal information, or when overhauling electronic service delivery systems involving destroying personal information. Sharon warns that companies that fail to comply with Quebec’s Law 25 are subject to a $25 million fine. In this episode of the She Said Privacy/He Said Security Podcast, Jodi and Justin Daniels welcome Sharon Bauer, Founder of Bamboo Data Consulting, to examine Quebec’s Law 25. Sharon reflects on her career background, discusses the intersection of Law 25 and the GDPR, and Canada’s basis for Personal Information Protection and Electronics Data Act (PIPEDA).

In this episode… The emergence of the adtech ecosystem has created a data-as-a-commodity paradigm that has given rise to privacy laws and regulations restricting targeted advertising and cookie usage. To integrate evolving technology tools with adtech privacy laws, what are some strategies to employ? Noga Rosenthal, an expert in adtech privacy law, asserts that alliances should be formed within the adtech industry. When teams learn from and communicate with each other, it helps to create transparency about data collection. Therefore, it becomes instinct to share information, obtain consumer consent or opt-outs, and collaborate with the Interactive Advertising Bureau and National Advertising Initiative. Another helpful source is the use of data clean rooms — a secure environment that enables organizations to merge data from multiple sources in order to analyze and share data while controlling how, where, and when it is used.
