I recently moderated a fireside chat with Tom Kemp, Executive Director of the California Privacy Protection Agency (CalPrivacy), on where California privacy regulation and enforcement stand in 2026.

We covered the agency’s priorities for the year ahead, including the Delete Act and the new Delete Request and Opt-Out Platform (DROP), what businesses should be doing now to prepare for risk assessments, how cybersecurity audits will roll out over time, and how CalPrivacy is approaching automated decision-making when it is used to make significant decisions about individuals. We also discussed how enforcement matters tend to originate, what leads to faster and more constructive resolutions, and how companies can engage productively with the agency as new guidance and rulemaking develop.

If you work in privacy, product, marketing, or compliance and want a clear view into how CalPrivacy is thinking about regulation, enforcement, and operational expectations in 2026, the webinar is worth a watch.
