With the enactment of the European General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and the California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA”), the restaurant and food service industry has been forced to cope with a shifting privacy landscape that impacts the data collected online and offline from customers, visitors, and employees. In the context of the CCPA, poor drafting, combined with a lack of practical regulatory guidance and the prospect of imminent judicial challenges, make it a particularly difficult statute for compliance.
At BCLP we have the honor to represent a wide cross-section of retailers and retail brands that encompass over 35,000 brick-and-mortar locations. Many of these companies operate in the food service industry. Given our unique position in the market, we believe that we have an obligation to provide our clients – and the restaurant sector as a whole – with accurate benchmarking to help them make the most informed compliance decisions possible.
