Virginia’s New CCPA-style Privacy Law: Powerhouse or Paper Tiger?
Virginia has just become the second U.S. state to enact a comprehensive privacy protection law. After passage by overwhelming majorities in both the Virginia Senate and House of Delegates, the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (“VCDPA”) was signed into law by Governor Ralph Northam on March 2. While lawmakers in several other states like New York and Washington have proposed their own privacy bills, those efforts so far have hit various snags and stumbling blocks while winding their way through the legislative process that has thus far stalled their final passage into law.

Sanitize Everything From Your Hands to Your Personal Information
If the last year has taught us anything, it is to sanitize, sanitize, sanitize. You are probably sanitizing your hands, your house, everything you touch, but what about the personal information you process?
Laws and regulations increasingly require entities to sanitize, pseudonymize or anonymize the personal information that they collect or process. Other than defining and requiring sanitization, these legal requirements often neglect to inform regulated entities what sanitization encompasses.
Pseudonymization, Anonymization, and Sanitization Defined
The GDPR has introduced a multitude of data protection-related terms. Pseudonymization, anonymization, and sanitization are terms that are often used interchangeably.
According to GDPR Article...
Wait, Is That a COVID-19 Record?
It’s no surprise that a global pandemic has created a lot of records, along with many questions surrounding these records. As organizations adapt to the new and constantly changing COVID-19 landscape, new processes and record outputs abound. We often get questions from our clients asking “is this a COVID-19 record?” and if yes, “how long should we be keeping this record?” Explicit authorities on company recordkeeping obligations have been slow to trickle down and are a bit of a patchwork with federal and state guidance provided only here and there.
This blog surveys a few of the common recordkeeping questions...

US Privacy Laws & RIM — Recent Developments
Privacy may very well be the fastest-growing area of law so far in the 21st century. While the US, at the federal level, has resisted a broad privacy law similar to the GDPR, momentum is steadily gaining for privacy legislation at the state level. This blog explores US privacy law’s recent developments from a records and information management (RIM) perspective.

New Changes to the European Union’s Medical Device and In Vitro Diagnostic Device Regulations
On May 26, 2020, the European Union enacted new regulations concerning medical and in vitro diagnostic devices—a move that should cause manufacturers, clinical trial sponsors, investigators, and other regulated parties involved in medical device development, manufacture, and distribution in the EU to take notice. These new regulations replace existing directives and bring about many changes, including important changes to records retention periods.
Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC has been replaced by Medical Device Regulations (EU) 2017/745. This regulation applies to both implantable medical devices and non-implantable medical devices.
In Vitro Diagnostics Regulations (EU) 2017/746 replaces In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices Directive...
