Individuals earning this certification must demonstrate a foundational understanding of broad global concepts of privacy and data protection law and practice, including: jurisdictional laws, regulations and enforcement models; essential privacy concepts and principals; legal requirements for handling and transferring data; and more.
While studying for this certification, CIPP/US students receive a comprehensive overview of the U.S. privacy environment, limits on private-sector collection and use of data, government and court access to private-sector information, workplace privacy, and state privacy laws. The CIPP/US certification is backed by American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/International Organization for Standardization (ISO) accreditation.
Paulick counsels small, medium and large businesses in all matters involving Data Privacy and Cybersecurity. Because Paulick has an extensive technical background, he can bridge the common gap between law and technology which is ever-present in the rapidly developing area of Data Protection and Privacy. Paulick advises many different clients on their Data Privacy initiatives including, but not limited to: Drafting Privacy Notices/Policies, Data Processing Agreements, and other vendor due diligence documentation. Additionally, Paulick has experience on the litigation side of Data Privacy including, but not limited to: handling data breach situations as well as defending TCPA class action lawsuits.
