Upcoming Webinar: Data Protection and Privacy–12/1
Posted by Rob Fields in Digital Marketing, Marketing Law, data protection/privacy on November 20th, 2009
This is our first of two Webinars scheduled for December.
DATA PROTECTION AND PRIVACY — DECEMBER 1 at 2pm EST
Effective March 1, 2010, a Massachusetts law goes into effect, which requires any company handling personal information on Massachusetts residents to adopt a “Comprehensive Written Security Program” and meet information security standards. This impacts any company that engages in national marketing or promotion. You may have to manage data on your clients, customers and employees differently! There are other important laws relating to data protection and privacy on the books, but the MA law is the most significant.
Join us for this informative and actionable session and learn:
- What does the new Massachusetts data security law require and how do you comply.
- Why you and your clients need to understand a myriad of federal and state laws involving the privacy and security of personal information.
- How to reduce your chances of having to send out expensive database security breach notices.
