Course Outline: This course will focus on the privacy and data legal landscape, including how federal data and privacy laws intersect with the new wave of state privacy and technology-related laws. In addition, students will receive practical insights into how federal and state regulators enforce these laws and the strategies regulators deploy to drive compliance with these laws.

Course Notes: (Face-to-Face)  The UH registration system instruction mode for this course is listed in parenthesis. For this instruction mode, instructors and students are expected to normally be physically present in the classroom. If the course has a final examination, it will be in a classroom requiring your physical presence. Other assessment, such as a mid term exam, may also be in a classroom. Whether this instructor will offer “remote presence” (starting a zoom meeting from the podium computer to enable student remote access on an occasional basis) for part or all of the semester is not known, but students should not rely on an expectation that remote presence will be available.
