This week, Jerry and Jody are joined by leading consumer advocate, India McKinney, to hear her views on the prospects for national privacy legislation and explore the increasingly important voice that consumers and their advocates have in shaping the debate about the content of legislation at both the state and federal levels. Among the issues discussed are whether a federal law should preempt state privacy enactments and the role that India believes private rights of action must play in the enforcement privacy laws as a supplement to the resources that state and federal authorities are able to assign. On the question of whether a national privacy law should cover industries like financial services and health, which already have long-standing privacy regimes, India expresses reservations, citing the difficulty of implementing new legislation that disrupts long standing, industry specific privacy regulation. India McKinney is Director of Federal Affairs for the Electronic Frontier Foundation based in San Francisco. Prior to joining EFF, India spent 10 years in Washington as a staffer for three members of Congress from California. Her passion has always been good public policy and she is excited to be using her skills in advocating for privacy rights for consumers. ***** Contact us: Jerry Buckley | jbuckley@buckleyfirm.com Jody Westby | westby@globalcyberrisk.com ADCG | info@adcg.org

This week, hosts Jody Westby and Jerry Buckley explore the nexus between privacy and cybersecurity and how these issues may play into the national legislative response to privacy and data protection challenges. Privacy and cybersecurity are often referenced as separate issues, yet both are part of the data protection ecosystem and both may need to be the subject of legislative and regulatory focus at the national level. ***** Contact us: Jerry Buckley | jbuckley@buckleyfirm.com Jody Westby | westby@globalcyberrisk.com ADCG | info@adcg.org

On this episode, we are joined by David Cotney, Senior Advisor at FS Vector and former Massachusetts Banking Commissioner, who shares some ideas about how the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) could play a role in shaping national privacy policy by publishing privacy guidance for banks similar to the FFIEC's Cybersecurity Guidance. He also reflects on how a compromise on the tricky issue of preemption in privacy legislation might be achieved by looking to experience with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Cotney, who currently advises fintech companies and other financial services providers, has held leadership positions in the world of financial regulation, serving as Massachusetts Banking Commissioner, Chairman of the Conference of State Bank Supervisors, and as a participant in the FFIEC. This week, we also discuss his thoughts on how to assign responsibility for privacy regulation among various federal agencies that each have some claim on jurisdiction, particularly referencing the appropriate responsibilities of bank regulators.
