Earlier this year, Maryland Attorney General, Douglas Gansler, announced that his office is launching a new Internet Privacy Unit designed to address issues related to online privacy. The unit will ensure that companies are in compliance with state and federal consumer protection laws.
The unit’s impact will extend beyond state borders to all companies that conduct online business in Maryland. In California, Attorney General, Kamala Harris, paved the way and has aggressively pursued mobile app developers who do not display their privacy policies, including filing suit against Delta Airlines for allegedly failing to post a privacy policy on its mobile app.
California’s Online Privacy Protection Act mandates that commercial operators of websites and online services, including mobile and social apps, conspicuously post a privacy policy if they collect personally identifiable information from California residents. In addition to posting a privacy policy, operators must abide by the promises and representations made in those policies.
