Hello all and happy Thursday!
This week, the Osano team is spending quality time with one another in the Austin Hill Country during our annual team trip. We’re a remote-first company, which makes these in-person team events all the more essential as we celebrate our accomplishments in the past year and gear up for an even bigger 2023.
Privacy doesn’t wait for team bonding however; it’s been a big week for data privacy! Perhaps most significantly, President Biden raised the importance of data privacy regulation in his State of the Union address. While the American Data Privacy Protection Act (ADPPA) still languishes in Congress and may or may not be enacted into law, the President’s remarks underscores just how much data privacy has come to the fore in public discourse.
The public and their representatives are starting to see why data privacy matters and why regulation that supports privacy is so essential. Whether the ADPPA becomes law remains to be seen, but it seems like there’s a lot of appetite for an American federal data privacy regulation regardless. When such a law hits the books, the Osano team will have your back.
Best,
Arlo
