Overview

Nonprofits collect a surprising amount of sensitive data — donor financial information, volunteer background checks, client intake forms, health records, and more — yet most operate without a clear privacy strategy or data governance plan. This presentation cuts through the legal jargon to give nonprofit leaders and their counsel a practical understanding of what data privacy laws actually apply to their organizations, including COPPA, state breach notification requirements, and the growing patchwork of state-level, federal, and international consumer privacy statutes. We'll examine the most common data collection mistakes nonprofits make, why the "we're just a small charity" mindset creates real legal exposure, and what a baseline-compliant data, privacy, and security program actually looks like for organizations with limited staff and budget. The session is designed to be immediately actionable. Attendees will walk away with a baseline framework for understanding what data their organization collects, how it's stored, who has access to it, and when it must be deleted or secured. We'll work through real-world nonprofit scenarios to show how privacy obligations differ depending on the population served and the technology used. Whether you're in-house counsel for a mid-size nonprofit or an outside attorney advising smaller charitable clients, this session will give you the tools to start a practical, proportionate privacy conversation with your clients the moment you walk out the door.
