On Friday, October 24, Gary Kibel (Partner, Privacy, Technology + Data Security) will join a panel discussion titled “Personal Data and Privacy Rights – What Are Transportation Companies’ Obligations?”
Session Overview
This panel will provide comprehensive guidance on managing personal data and privacy obligations, covering customer information (e.g., contact details, payment data), employee records, telematics and IoT-generated data from connected vehicles.
Panelists will outline what qualifies as personal data under frameworks like GDPR and CCPA, emphasizing transportation-specific data such as passenger manifests and driver logs. The session will explore where to implement privacy policies — at data collection points, storage systems and third-party sharing — and offer practical compliance strategies, including data protection impact assessments, encryption and clear privacy notices.
Attendees will gain insights into addressing cross-border data transfers, federal regulations (e.g., FMCSA, FAA), and data breach risks, equipping them to advise clients on balancing operational needs with legal compliance in a data-driven industry.
