How to Improve Data Security in Payment Systems: Changing Risks and Changing Technology for In-House Counsel
Webinar | Thursday, March 31st, 2016 at 12:00 PM EDT
Davis Wright Tremaine presents this audio web cast through Celesq® Attorneys Ed Center in partnership with West LegalEdcenter, a Thomson Reuters business.
With new technology behind how credit card transactions are processed and protected, accepting credit cards carries new data security risks and potential legal liabilities. In addition to the normal repercussions of a data security breach (reputation damage, the risk of class action litigation, and the risk of a regulatory investigation), if a retailer’s credit card system is compromised, the retailer may be contractually liable to its payment processor, its merchant bank, and ultimately the payment card brands.
Courtney K. Stout and David A. Zetoony discuss new payment processing technologies, their impact on data security, the risk implications for companies, and how in-house counsel can negotiate third party vendor contracts to minimize these risks.
