The California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”) amended the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), and went into effect on January 1, 2023. The CPRA expanded consumer rights and created new privacy compliance requirements that businesses must put in place. CPRA enforcement begins on July 1, 2023.
Join privacy attorney Scott Hall and members of the Coblentz Data Privacy Team on Tuesday, June 6, 2023 for a discussion on steps your business can take now to prepare for CPRA enforcement.
Businesses who have $25M in annual global revenue; OR process personal information of 100,000 California residents; OR derive 50% or more of profits from selling or sharing personal information are subject to the CPRA.
There is still time to comply, but businesses should act now to update privacy policies and practices.
This program is pending approval for 1.0 General CLE credit in California.

Coblentz is the proud host of the Copyright Society’s program “Going where no Bach has gone before: New Frontiers with AI-Created Music” on Thursday, May 4. With AI-generated music, copyright protection is facing rapidly emerging challenges. While the advent of digital music, file sharing, sampling, and streaming already stirred panic in the industry over the past 40 years, today’s AI-generated music is stoking new concerns for enforcement, expression, and originality. Musicologist Judith Finell will discuss this topic, and will demonstrate recent developments in Chat-GPT music applications.
