Data privacy has emerged as a pressing issue for both employees and consumers, yet only 14% of Americans believe that companies can be trusted to use their data with their best interests in mind. Especially in the wake of the overturning of Dobbs v. Jackson, the way companies handle sensitive data can have life-altering consequences. Companies must play an active role in protecting their customers’ and workers’ private information as the risk of reproductive health criminalization increases across the country. Many types of data can reveal sensitive information about a person’s health and reproductive care. Search queries, browsing history, the contents of communications, and location data can all be used to build cases against people for their reproductive health outcomes, despite not typically being thought of as sources of “medical” or health-related data. Join us for a timely discussion with leading businesses, advocates, and data privacy experts on the steps employers can take to protect their employees and customers. This webinar will explore: -Best practices for safeguarding sensitive health data in employee benefits systems, internal workplace technologies, and consumer-facing platforms.  -The policy and legal landscape shaping the future of data privacy—and the growing risks for individuals accessing reproductive and other health care. -The legal and reputational risks for companies that fail to protect employee and consumer privacy. -How leading employers are stepping up to ensure reproductive and other personal health information is secure. -Practical tools and resources for HR, compliance, and corporate leadership.
