CIPP-US - State Privacy Laws - Section 5.1

Explain the interplay between federal preemption and state authority over data privacy, and identify the circumstances in which state law provides broader protection.

Explain how the Supremacy Clause and express preemption in statutes such as HIPAA and COPPA displace conflicting state law, while concurrent jurisdiction lets states enforce where federal law sets a floor not a ceiling. Identify when a state law survives preemption by offering greater protection, and recognise that many US sector laws permit such state floors.
