Description
Understand the applicability of the GDPR and CCPA and how to incorporate data privacy compliance into MA preparation and due diligence.
Violations of the GDPR and CCPA can result in serious liabilities. The EUs General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Californias Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) impose new data privacy obligations and restrictions, at times with extraterritorial scope. Violations of these laws can result in serious liability for U.S. companies even after a merger or acquisition has occurred. Even so, many U.S. companies have not come into full compliance with the GDPR and CCPA, which can result in new liabilities and risks during MA deals. This topic helps the persons involved on the buyer and seller sides of MAs understand the applicability of the GDPR and CCPA to U.S. companies and how to incorporate data privacy compliance into MA preparation and due diligence. The material also explains how data privacy risks can be addressed in relevant MA documentation and postdeal integration and system management. As data privacy regulators enforce these new laws and individuals become more familiar with their new data privacy rights, this information is critical for businesses to ensure that their MA processes protect parties from inadvertent noncompliance.
