Legal and Regulatory Expectations for Mobile Device Privacy and Security (Part One of Two)

With consumers now using mobile devices in nearly every aspect of their personal and professional lives, companies are collecting, storing and sharing information from mobile use for a wide range of initiatives such as improving products and services and targeted advertising. During a recent webinar, WilmerHale partners D. Reed Freeman, Jr. and Heather Zachary examined the latest federal, state and self-regulatory privacy and data security expectations. Part one in this two-part series covers the panelists’ detailed discussion about how practitioners can navigate the regulatory environment for mobile advertising, including self-regulatory guidance and the increasingly important role of the FCC. In part two, Freeman and Zachary address: how to ensure compliance in the use of cross-device advertising and tracking; lessons from the Telephone Consumer Protection Act; and key aspects of the E.U. and Canada’s mobile privacy and data security regulations.
