Season 3, Episode 11: Podcast: What is the American Privacy Rights Act? (with Alan Chapell)

In this episode of the Mobile Dev Memo podcast, I speak with ⁠Alan Chapell⁠, an attorney who specializes in digital privacy through his law firm and consultancy, ⁠Chapell & Associates⁠, about the recently proposed American Data Privacy and Protection Act (APRA). Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Washington, and Senator Maria Cantwell, D-Washington, unveiled the APRA last month -- the draft legislation presents consumers with broad digital privacy protections and features many similarities and several noteworthy distinctions from the ADPPA, a previous data privacy bill that was effectively killed by the last Congress. In our conversation, Alan and I cover, among other things: The broad provisions and requirements of the APRA; How the APRA differs from the ADPPA; What to make of the fact that Maria Cantwell sponsored APRA while opposing the ADPPA; The interpretation of the APRA's targeted advertising opt-out provision as a de facto consent requirement; The FTC's obligations and powers as outlined in the APRA; The latest status of third-party cookie deprecation in Chrome; Whether Google intends to limit the functionality of first-party cookies in Chrome.
