The Big Story podcast

This week on The Big Story, we present the latest in privacy protection regulations – true-false style.

The One And Only (TOAO) Allison Schiff is here to break it all down, answering such key questions as:

If you prepared for GDPR/CCPA/CPRA, are you good for CDPA?

Is CDPA basically GDPR with an American accent?

And what should we make of all this state-by-state regulation lighting up across the US? Because, don’t you know, there’s way more in the works.
