Key Topics

- Privacy Policies
- Protection & Security

- Intellectual Property
- Terms of Use
This podcast follows the outline of a Grand Rapids Business Journal Blog written by Jennifer in March, 2019. The blog is a great outline of the main takeaways of each topic discussed in our podcast.
This podcast is to assist in a general understanding of the legal issues involved, and is not intended as legal advice. Persons with particular questions should seek the advice of counsel.
