Enforcement brings theory into practice. In this episode, we review major FTC privacy and data security cases, highlighting recurring themes such as inadequate security, deceptive disclosures, and failure to honor stated practices. These case studies illustrate how the FTC frames violations and the remedies it imposes, from fines to compliance monitoring.

We’ll also analyze settlement patterns, which provide insight into the agency’s priorities and evolving expectations. Understanding these examples prepares you for exam questions that reference enforcement outcomes and principles, ensuring you can connect theory to real-world application.
