California Consumer Privacy Act: The Challenge Ahead – A Comparison of 10 Key Aspects of The GDPR and The CCPA

This is the fifth installment in Hogan Lovells’ series on the California Consumer Privacy Act. As the most comprehensive privacy law to be enacted in the United States thus far, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) has inevitably invited comparisons to the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). At first glance, it is clear that the drafters of the CCPA (and the ballot measure that spurred its passage) drew inspiration from the GDPR.

CAC issued draft regulations: Cyberspace protection of minors is on agenda

On September 30, 2016, the Cyberspace Administration of China (the “CAC“) issued the draft for comments of the Regulations on Cyberspace Protection of Minors (the “Draft“). A “Minor” is not defined in the Draft, but defined under the Minor Protection Law as any citizen under the age of 18. The term “citizen” is likely to be interpreted as a citizen of China. However, in the Guidelines for Personal Information Protection within Information Systems for Public and Commercial Services on Information Security Technology (the “Guidelines“), the same term is defined as
