Texas is emerging as the next privacy regulator to watch, with the implementation of the Texas Privacy and Data Security Act (TPDSA) and the Texas SCOPE Act.
Texas Attorney General, Ken Paxton, has launched a privacy and security enforcement initiative, focusing on enforcing privacy laws.
Recent examples of enforcement actions include a lawsuit against TikTok, settlement under the Texas biometric law, letters to companies for alleged failures to register as data brokers, and an investigation into car manufacturers.
Businesses should review their data processing and collection practices to ensure compliance with TPDSA and other applicable privacy laws.
