Hello all, and happy Juneteenth!
It’s June 19th, the date marking the end of slavery in the US way back in 1865. To celebrate, the Osano staff is out of the office today. I've still got a jam-packed privacy newsletter for you, but I'll leave this intro light and breezy—just like this (hopefully) beautiful June day.
Best,
Arlo

EU Strikes Deal to Facilitate Cross-Border GDPR Enforcement
The European Parliament and the Council of the European Union reached a provisional agreement on a long-awaited regulation aimed at improving cooperation between national-level data protection authorities when enforcing cross-border cases under the General Data Protection Regulation. The agreement also includes clarification of relevant procedures and rights as well as "fleshing out of earlier provisions" related to cooperation and dispute resolution procedures.
California Senate Unanimously Passes Bill That Would Limit CIPA Data Privacy
Recently, the California Senate unanimously passed Senate Bill 690 (SB 690), which would amend the California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA). The bill would provide a “commercial business purpose” exception to CIPA and would change the landscape of data privacy litigation in the state, preventing what many consider to be “abusive lawsuits.” CIPA was originally intended to prevent unauthorized wiretapping, but it has since been repurposed to file lawsuits against businesses using digital technologies like session replay, chatbots, cookies, and pixels.
US Officials Question 23andMe's Ability to Navigate Data Protection During Bankruptcy
Genetic testing company 23andMe's bankruptcy has unsettled users and officials, raising crucial concerns about what will happen to the sensitive biometric data collected by the company. Despite recently announcing biotech company Regeneron would purchase 23andMe, the company pulled back its bid after 23andMe co-founder and former CEO Anne Wojcicki’s nonprofit TTAM Research Institute offered USD305 million. Meanwhile, critics continue to express concern over the fate of the company’s trove of sensitive data.
