Transportation and logistics businesses have an intimate understanding of how technology and the accumulation of data have shaped today’s economy. With this proliferation of data, governments around the world have created a confusing, complex, contradictory, and patchwork set of laws and regulations.  Each year, more states and countries enact new privacy and biometrics laws, including the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA), and California’s Consumer Privacy Act/ Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA). Companies must stay up to speed on these laws and related best practices to avoid costly penalties, lawsuits and reputational harm.
