Title: "Privacy Fraud: Deception, Compliance Missteps, or Just Bad Practices?"
Description: Privacy violations can stem from negligence, mismanagement, or outright deception - but when does a failure in privacy compliance cross the line into fraud? This interactive session will define fraud in the context of data privacy, exploring key elements such as intent, deception, and financial or reputational harm.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
-
Increase your understanding of the Boundaries Between Privacy Violations and Fraud
- Explore when privacy mismanagement crosses into fraudulent misrepresentation (intentional deception) versus negligence or regulatory non-compliance.
-
Increase your understanding of Legal and Regulatory Frameworks: Enforcement Trends
- Learn insights into the Texas Attorney General’s enforcement actions under TDPSA – the types of cases that are being pursued, and what legal arguments are being made.
-
Case Studies: Fraud or Just Wrong?
- Participate in an interactive discussion where attendees analyze the case and debate whether it meets the threshold for fraud.
-
Detection and Mitigation Techniques
- Participate in the discussion of internal controls, audit techniques, and forensic accounting approaches that help uncover fraudulent misrepresentation of privacy compliance.
-
Emerging Trends: AI, Dark Patterns, and Privacy Fraud Risks
- Learn new threats in Privacy fraud and AI-driven fraud risks
We will analyze recent enforcement actions by the Texas Attorney General under the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA), examining the legal and regulatory implications for organizations operating in the state.
