Privacy in 2026: New Laws, New Risks, Lawsuits You Can Avoid, and the Road Ahead
Tuesday, December 9th • 11:45 AM – 1:30 PM ET
As 2026 approaches, privacy risk is shifting again. New comprehensive laws are taking effect in multiple states, regulators are issuing fresh AI guidance with major privacy implications, and plaintiffs’ attorneys are testing novel theories under state and federal statutes. If you advise the business on privacy, you’ll need a crisp view of what’s changing—and how to stay ahead of enforcement and litigation. Back by popular demand following our webinar “Privacy Lawsuits & How to Avoid Them,” this session zeroes in on what in-house teams must know—and do—before January arrives.
Join us on Tuesday, December 9 at 12:00 pm ET / 9:00 am PT as Alex Proctor,, Chief Trust & Privacy Officer at Captain Compliance breaks down the key 2026 developments and how to translate them into practical program updates and litigation risk reduction for your company.
