AdTech, Consent, and the New Wave of Privacy Litigation
Jana Farmer, Stephanie Nott, and Wisaal Jahangir
This session explores business risk at the intersection of advertising technology, privacy law, and class action trends.

The session spotlights California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA) theories and wiretap-style claims targeting technologies that track user interactions, translating recent case law into practical takeaways and highlighting common theories of liability and defense trends. The session concludes with concrete compliance steps to mitigate exposure, including consent UX, policy disclosures, vendor contracting, and governance for high-risk use cases such as retargeting and cross-context behavioral advertising.

Cybersecurity and Data Breach Exposure: Nobody Likes a Stinky Onion
Dominik Cvitanovic and Michael Ferragamo
Using practical examples, this session aims to help claims professionals understand how layers of data liability may accrue through data retention practices, what measures organizations should consider when assessing the types of data they retain, how layers of data may be uncovered through cybersecurity events, and the potential liability that may result from data exposure incidents. The session also addresses how that exposure may be compounded when an entity hosts data on behalf of third parties, as well as the additional impact that vendor supply chains can have on this calculus.
Stay ahead of emerging challenges in today’s complex risk landscape.
