Communication, Data Security, and Privacy: Operational Resources
Overview
As technology changes the way we communicate, new and existing laws regarding the content of the message (and the medium itself) can present a patchwork of confusion that housing providers must navigate through in their business operations. There are also emerging regulations regarding the security and use of sensitive data collected by housing providers. Failure to comply with applicable regulations can often come with hefty damage awards at the local, state, and/or federal levels. Below are resources covering the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), and the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003 (CAN-SPAM) federal regulations, as well as information covering the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
