David Wheeler, partner and leader of NGE’s Cybersecurity & Data Privacy team, has published a new article in Law360 titled “Privacy Ruling Shows How CIPA Conflicts With Modern Tech.”

In this piece, David breaks down a recent California federal court decision that narrows how the California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA) applies to modern web‑tracking tools. He explains why common analytics technologies do not constitute in‑transit interception under CIPA and offers clear guidance on what this means for organizations managing digital tracking, consent, and compliance obligations.

David’s analysis provides practical takeaways for businesses navigating California’s evolving privacy landscape and highlights how to stay aligned with broader frameworks such as the CCPA/CPRA, HIPAA, and FTC regulations.
