A new Federal Trade Commission (FTC) report, ''Big Data: A Tool for Inclusion or Exclusion? Understanding the Issues,'' warns that certain uses of big data consisting of consumer information may implicate various federal consumer protection laws. In the report, the FTC puts companies on notice that it intends ''to monitor areas where big data practices could violate existing laws'' and ''bring enforcement actions where appropriate.''
In this webinar, we will help companies understand the legal risks of providing or using big data and prepare for closer scrutiny of their big data practices.
Topics
- Types of big data and uses
- Federal consumer protection laws potentially implicated
- Regulators that might target big data practices
