Even for companies that are currently California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) compliant, the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) will present significant new challenges. This is due, in part, to the CPRA’s regulation of the collection, use and disclosure of employee, applicant, independent contractor and other “HR Data” that is currently largely exempt from the CCPA. Starting on January 1, 2023, organizations will have to apply various obligations to otherwise common and routine HR data processing. Importantly, businesses should be aware that the scope of application will likely extend beyond California-based employers to those outside of the state, such as in the case of remote workers and California-based job applicants.
In a virtual event on June 14 at 2:00 pm EST, our panel of thought leaders will help you anticipate and plan for the coming changes. Join Annette Demmel, Alan Friel, Kyle Fath, and Carmen Cole as they explore:
- The “consumer” rights and business obligations that apply to HR data under the CPRA
- Completing a data inventory for HR Data and otherwise preparing for compliance in view of delayed regulations
- Balancing the obligations under the CPRA with a tangled web of California employment laws and regulations
- Preparing for the notoriously litigious employment plaintiffs’ bar to use CPRA rights as an alternative, pre-litigation discovery mechanism
- Lessons learned from GDPR employee data subject access requests, including regarding emails and unstructured data
- The scope of privilege, trade secrets and protection of another person’s privacy rights
- Status of pending legislation that would extend HR and B-to-B Data exemptions
- The potential distinction between business data and personal information
- How new purpose and retention limitations will help minimize access
- The use of self-serve access and focusing of requests to limit search parameters and of Section .145(h)(3)(formerly (g)(3)) to limit access
- Application of deletion exception retention purposes to HR data
