President-Elect Obama and Privacy; Reg D Indexes Updated

When a new President is elected, many wonder how the new Commander-in-Chief will change the compliance culture.  What will he emphasize?  Here's a great post from Brendon Tavelli at Proskauer Rose LLP that analyzes what may be on the horizon in the area of privacy.  It is a very good read.  According to Mr. Tavelli, we could see changes in the following areas:

  1. A national privacy law
  2. Data breach notifications
  3. A beefed up FTC

We'll have to stay tuned.  Changes of these sorts take time and a whole lot of cat-herding on the Hill.
