CIPP-US - Introduction to the U.S. Privacy Environment - Section 1.1

Identify the sources of US law - constitutional, statutory, regulatory, and common law - and explain how each shapes privacy obligations.

Distinguish constitutional, statutory, regulatory, and common law as the four sources of US privacy obligations, and identify how each layer - from Fourth Amendment doctrine to agency rulemaking - can impose independent duties. Recognise that federal preemption can displace state law and that common law torts such as intrusion upon seclusion provide remedies outside statute.
