Attorney Cautions That Privacy Laws Cover All Platforms, Not Just Sites
Privacy Daily quotes Daniel M. Goldberg in an article on growing trends in privacy laws and enforcement. The publication covered a webinar presented by Mr. Goldberg and Privado CEO Vaibhav Antil. Mr. Goldberg stated, '“although several enforcement actions have targeted websites, mobile apps are also subject to all privacy laws'” He noted how it’s no longer enough for companies to rely on privacy vendors for compliance but must practice due diligence. Mr. Goldberg reviewed California enforcement actions against Honda, Todd Snyder, and Healthline.
“With all three of these examples, ‘these are not companies that did nothing,” he said. ‘These are companies that had measures in place, that had actually used a vendor to implement them, but the way that it was configured was not tracking the law perfectly.’” He also pointed out how enforcements and fines are rising.

The AdExchanger newsletter quotes Daniel M. Goldberg, highlighting key privacy enforcement trends. He provided an example of how opting in cookie tracking by clicking a bold “Allow All” button contrasted with declining tracing, which required a more involved two-step process.

He underscored due diligence in programs, referencing recent privacy enforcement setttlements and fines. “‘All these cases involve vendor solutions that did not work,’ Goldberg said. ‘In almost all of them, the company did have privacy compliance in place; it just wasn’t working.’” View Article
