Is Your Business Ready for Privacy Compliance?

 

Illinois laws like BIPA and PIPA could expose your company to serious risk. Data Steward PLLC helps you stay compliant— and stay ahead.

​

​

 

 

Privacy Laws Are Changing. Is Your Business Prepared?

Illinois has some of the strongest privacy laws in the U.S.—even without a comprehensive law like California’s CCPA. If your business handles personal or biometric data, you need to understand what’s required to stay compliant and avoid costly penalties.

​

At Data Steward PLLC, we help business owners reduce legal risk and create privacy practices that build customer trust.

​

Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA)

• Written consent required for biometric data

• Must disclose how data will be used and stored

• Significant legal risk for non-compliance

• Class-action lawsuits common

​​

H3: Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA)

• Applies to data like SSNs and financial info

• Requires reasonable security measures

• Must notify the public + AG if 500+ affected

• Focused on breach response + accountability

​​

Privacy Law Comparison: Illinois | California

California’s CCPA/CPRA laws offer consumers more control: the right to access, delete, and correct data, opt out of sales, and restrict sensitive data use. It also has a dedicated enforcement agency.

Illinois doesn't go that far yet—but BIPA and PIPA still impose serious obligations. And if you serve California residents, you must comply with their laws—no matter where your business is located.

 

Your Privacy Risk Doesn’t Stop at the State Line

If you have customers in other states, their laws may apply to your business. Here are just a few:
