Consumer Data Privacy Insights: Trends in Regulation and State AG Enforcement

Program Originally Presented Wednesday, December 10, 2025

This CLE presentation will provide an overview of consumer data privacy harms, regulation and enforcement, based on a recent report from the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC). In the absence of federal consumer privacy law, State Attorneys General (AG) have been striving to fill federal regulatory gaps to address an era of rapid evolution in tech-facilitated harms.

EPIC’s report catalogs over 220 cases and settlements, 35 letters, and 20 public investigations from January 2020 through December 2024, providing a detailed look at the breadth and impact of state-level privacy enforcement. The report examines State AG enforcement actions across six areas of privacy harms: Unwanted Calls & Texts, Data Breach, Data Privacy, Antitrust, Platform Accountability & Governance, and Algorithms & Automated Systems.

The report’s five-year period represents a base understanding of how State AGs used flexible consumer protection authority and federal authority available to them. Equipped with more specific authority in the coming years, State AGs will be able to build on their impressive body of work to combat ongoing consumer privacy harm in the digital age.

Attend this program to hear key insights into the trends in the regulation and state agency enforcement of consumer data privacy.
