Profile
Andrea C. Maciejewski designs and implements privacy programs for clients of all sizes – from Fortune 500s to start ups – and in all sectors, including digital entertainment, marketing, online education, retail, and consumer goods. Andrea helps companies build efficient and effective international compliance programs that focus on limiting exposure in high-risk jurisdictions. Andrea offers clients practical legal counsel, striving to understand the underlying business model and provide strategies that manage costs and risks, while attempting to maintain normal businesses operations.
Her practice concentrates on synthesizing international data privacy laws and regulations including the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), China’s Personal Information Protection Law (“PIPL”), and other comprehensive privacy laws in countries such as India, Australia, New Zealand, and others. She also advises on comprehensive U.S. state privacy laws as well as federal data privacy laws, such as the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (“FERPA).
Some of the specific documents Andrea drafts include data processing addendums, intracompany agreements, cross-border transfer agreements, privacy policies, privacy impact assessments, and data inventories. She has experience in U.S. and multi-national record retention practices, and frequently counsels on updating those practices for compliance with new privacy laws.
Additionally, Andrea provides counsel on data concerns unique to video games, eSports, and mobile gaming. She also teaches the practice-focused Privacy Compliance class at the University of Colorado Law.
Outside of the firm, Andrea is a rock climber, skier, and avid cook. Her bucket list items include visiting every national park and (eventually) completing the Triple Crown of Hiking.
