The Continuing Education of the Bar recently authored an article discussing a $2.75 million settlement between California and The Walt Disney Company, the state’s largest consumer data privacy settlement to date. The settlement emphasizes the need for companies to honor consumer opt-out requests across all platforms and devices, highlighting Disney’s failure to fully comply with California’s privacy laws. The case underscores the state’s commitment to enforcing consumer data privacy laws enterprise-wide.
