CHICAGO - TelAve -- Debbie Reynolds, known globally as The Data Diva and host of The Data Diva Talks Privacy Podcast, will host Tom Kemp, Executive Director of the California Privacy Protection Agency, in a new episode airing February 24, 2026.

The episode provides an in-depth discussion of California's evolving privacy enforcement framework and the operational realities facing businesses under state law. The conversation examines the implementation of the state's DELETE Request and Opt-Out Platform, Automated Decision Making Technology regulations, and new requirements involving risk assessments and cybersecurity audits for qualifying businesses.

Kemp discusses how California's independent privacy agency, created by voter initiative, continues to influence national privacy standards. The episode also addresses enforcement priorities involving sensitive personal information, children's data, and location tracking, as well as the broader challenge of translating statutory requirements into operational accountability.
