An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a unique identifier assigned to a device that is connected to a computer network. In the internet ecosystem, the IP allows a network host to communicate with a network participant and route that participant to different destinations (i.e., websites). California's state privacy act, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA), does not take a position on whether an IP address, standing alone, is personally identifiable information (PII).

As detailed in Part 1 of this ongoing series, Washington Governor Jay Inslee signed the state's My Health My Data Act (the Act) into law on April 27, 2023. The Act is a first-of-its-kind law that creates new privacy protections relating to the collection, sharing, and selling of "consumer health data." Because of the Act's potentially broad reach and private right of action, this legislation is expected to have national implications and may be the most important American privacy law enacted since the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

The international landscape is in constant flux, demanding sophisticated tools to navigate its complexities. While unforeseen events like economic downturns, wars and pandemics can erupt suddenly, established trends like climate change and population shifts offer a clearer window into the future. Climate change is already at the center of the global agenda, with established frameworks like the U.Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Paris Agreement, along with institutional mechanisms like the Conference of the Parties (COP) and the Green Climate Fund, in place to address it.
