A growing number of U.S. legal initiatives now treat personal data as a “dual-use” technology—an asset that can be exploited not only for commercial purposes but also for intelligence and national security operations.

This webinar introduces privacy professionals to the national security logic behind this shift and what it means for compliance teams. It provides a practical overview of the expanding U.S. export-control and national security framework, including the Bulk Data Rule, which adds DOJ to the list of U.S. privacy regulators. The session highlights compliance challenges such as broad definitions of “covered persons,” “data brokerage,” and “bulk” thresholds, including application even where data is anonymized or encrypted.
