Data privacy is one of the most consequential and most misunderstood areas of legal and business risk. Regulations are multiplying, technology is outpacing the law, and long-held beliefs keep driving decisions long after they’ve stopped being true. Join Procopio’s Myth Busters, Elaine Harwell and Danielle Ocampo Hull, as they separate fact from fiction and tackle common misconceptions and nuanced issues that can create legal and business exposure.

 We’ll move beyond privacy fundamentals to examine the increasingly complex questions facing in-house counsel: from the expanding definition and use of personal data to website and app tracking, vendor data practices, evolving cybersecurity expectations, and the growing intersection between privacy regulation and litigation risk. We’ll also explore how rapidly adopted AI tools are testing existing legal frameworks, including questions involving confidential and personal data, training and secondary uses of data, automated decision-making, and accountability for AI-generated outputs.

 Along the way, we’ll challenge familiar assumptions, including that consent solves every privacy problem, smaller companies face less risk, and deleted data is truly gone. Whether you regularly advise on privacy issues or encounter them as part of a broader role, you’ll leave with practical insights to strengthen your organization’s approach to privacy, cybersecurity, and AI.
