Welcome to Hogan Lovells’ The Data Chronicles, brought to you by the firm’s global Privacy and Cybersecurity practice. This multimedia series is dedicated to the ever-changing legal and regulatory developments in the world of data, privacy, and cybersecurity.

Gov. Wes Moore made Maryland the second state to try to create strong limits on information collected on children by signing a new age-appropriate design code into law. In this rapid reaction episode, host Scott Loughlin is joined by Hogan Lovells associate Harsimar Dhanoa to discuss the new law, known as the Maryland Kids Code, and how it seeks to limit data that could be collected from children online and help keep children safe online.

Gov. Moore also signed Maryland’s comprehensive privacy law into law – you can find our rapid reaction episode discussing the key points of the bill here.
