The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA): Defining and measuring statutory damages under U.S. privacy laws

A panel of WG11 brainstorming group members will lead a dialogue on their outline which addresses two discrete issues in the CCPA that also arise in other privacy and data security laws: (1) whether a consumer must show actual harm in addition to a mere technical violation of the statute before the state Attorney General or consumer can sue under the statute, and (2) how a “violation” of a privacy or security regulation should be calculated. The dialogue will address these issues within the context of the CCPA and other privacy and security regulations.
