Our guest, Evan Goldstein, eBay's Associate General Counsel, joins us to discuss how GDPR has impacted digital publishers and covers the California Consumer Privacy Act.  The California law is commonly referred to as CCPA, which goes into effect on January 1st. The European Union previously implemented a law for its citizens in May 2018 called the General Data Privacy Regulations, commonly referred to as GDPR.   

We discussed the difference between a data processor and data controller, and the rollout or application of GDPR.
Evan tells us a story about how a wealthy California, Alastair Mactaggart, led a campaign to bring regulation to the online industry, which led to the CCPA (10:50).   

We finish the discussion around how digital publishers can align around some principles to be compliant.  

 
Principles (23:30) 

• Updated, Transparent User Privacy Policy 
• Explicit User Consent 
• Consumer Access Request Process 
• If you’re large, you need a Data Privacy Leader (Chief Data Privacy Officer)
