4. Data Control … and the Mess that Is Privacy Law
Lesson 4 addresses privacy law and its role in contracts about AI and cloud computing. It does not provide a general review of privacy law but rather looks at the problem of executing IT contracts under today's complex, confusing privacy regime. In particuar, the lesson asks how to come up with privacy-law-compliant terms when it's often impossible to know what laws apply to a deal's data. Among other issues, the lesson explores when and whether the parties should promise to comply with privacy law. The lesson also looks at privacy policies and their relationship (or lack thereof) to cloud and AI contracts.
