Now that the January 1, 2020 compliance deadline for the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) has passed and the dust has settled, it may be worth taking a look at how a few other changes in California may impact privacy law. More specifically, in the chaos caused by CCPA compliance, several privacy experts have overlooked California’s steps to regulate the Internet of Things (“IoT”). THE INTERNET OF THINGS GETS MORE DANGEROUS While we were all…

Establishing a Collection Policy for Condominium and Common-Interest Community Associations Many condominium and common-interest community associations are faced with a cash-crunch crisis when members fall behind in the payment of their proportionate share of assessments and common expenses.  Associations are businesses, even if not-for-profit, that needs revenue to operate. Thus, it is imperative that Associations remain financially viable by collecting assessments. Assuming the board has confirmed the contents of its governing documents with regard to the payment…
The Illinois Biometric Information Protection Act (“BIPA”) has had a significant impact on how employers use timekeeping systems to track employees’ hours at work. Timekeeping systems that allow employees to “clock in” and “clock out” using their thumbprints and fingerprints have become more commonplace. Unfortunately, the courts have not kept up with the technology and employers have found little guidance on how to use this new equipment within the confines of BIPA. As a result…
It was a quaint, innocent time before social engineering scams, ransomware or any of the other threats had evolved to hassle both large and small data collectors. In 2014 and 2015, large-scale data breaches at Home Depot, Best Buy and Target roamed the Earth.

In T-Mobile USA Inc. v. Selective Ins. Co. of Am., No. 96500-5, — P.3d —, 2019 WL 5076647 (Wash. Oct. 10, 2019), the Supreme Court of Washington answered the Ninth Circuit’s certified question regarding whether an insurance company is bound by its agent’s written representation — made in a certificate of insurance — that a particular corporation is an additional insured under a given policy. Under Washington law, the answer is “yes” — an insurance…
Despite having the potential to impact many data collectors, Illinois’ Biometric Information Protection Act (“BIPA”) has received surprisingly little analysis from state or federal courts. A decision issued on October 17, 2019, by the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois may limit the number of BIPA cases reaching the federal courts and, in turn, further, limit the development of law addressing BIPA claims. In Colon v. Dynacast, LLC, 19-cv-4561 (N.D. Ill.…
