As we return to our desks and head into the final stretch of 2025, the privacy landscape continues to accelerate. This month, we share resources on AI governance, risk management, and modern compliance frameworks, and DataGrail product innovation.

It’s been a busy month across the data privacy landscape, with major state laws advancing and new compliance challenges on the horizon. Here’s what’s shaping the landscape and what’s new from DataGrail.

Privacy risks are changing—fast. From the rapid rise of generative AI to sweeping global regulations and shifting consumer expectations, today’s privacy, security and legal teams are facing a wave of new challenges that demand better process, tooling and planning.

This month’s newsletter focuses on modern privacy management, particularly data mapping, and highlights the latest in data privacy news including settlements in healthcare website tracking lawsuits, a data breach at Workday, and a class action lawsuit against Whoop.

The data privacy landscape is evolving rapidly, driven by heightened consumer awareness and stricter regulations. With a 43% year-over-year increase in total DSR volume and data deletion requests now accounting for 82% of all DSRs, organizations face mounting pressure to adapt to these trends while managing rising compliance costs.

The world of data privacy is advancing at breakneck speed, bringing both challenges and opportunities. From navigating new state privacy laws to managing a surge in data subject requests, staying ahead requires the right insights and tools. That’s why this month’s newsletter is packed with resources to help you keep your strategies one step ahead.

With new state-level laws like the Tennessee Information Protection Act and the Minnesota Consumer Data Privacy Act taking effect in July—and the next phase of the EU AI Act on the horizon in August—understanding the nuances of these regulations is essential.

The past month has been a whirlwind of updates in data privacy, from legislative shifts to exciting new tools and features designed to simplify compliance. As the landscape continues to evolve, staying informed and prepared is more important than ever.

The last month brought a wave of pivotal moments in data privacy, spotlighting the growing importance of compliance, transparency, and innovation. From hefty fines to groundbreaking AI advancements, the privacy landscape is evolving rapidly—reshaping how businesses build trust and safeguard sensitive information.

February brought new momentum to data privacy, with businesses and consumers alike prioritizing trust and transparency. From legislative efforts to advancing privacy-first technologies, the push for stronger data protection is reshaping the digital landscape.

This was a huge month for data privacy, kicking off with 5 new state privacy laws going into effect. We also wrapped up January with Data Privacy Week, which included our exclusive Privacy Huddle and a trivia raffle featuring daily challenges in our community.
