b"When the Supreme Court reversed Roe v. Wade, it enabled states to further restrict and criminalize abortion. Some states can now prosecute abortion providers, insurers, and, in some cases, even patients themselves. Some states also allow civil actions. Increasingly, law enforcement and civil litigants may turn to companies to gain access to data that could help prove that a person sought, received, aided, or provided an abortion. \\n\\nMany types of data can reveal sensitive information about a person\\u2019s health and healthcare choices. Search queries, browsing history, the contents of communications, and a person\\u2019s location data can all reveal such private information, despite not typically being thought of as sources of \\u201cmedical\\u201d or health-related data. Because of this, companies inside and outside the healthcare sector must be responsible for carefully assessing and limiting the private information they collect, store, and share. Without thoughtful action, a company\\u2019s data practices may be complicit in sending their customers to prison or exposing them to civil litigation, for personal choices that are still legal in the majority of the United States.\\n\\nIn the post-Dobbs era, companies must play an active role in protecting their customers' and users\\u2019 private information. Here to explain what companies can do to protect user data is Andy Crawford, Senior Counsel for CDT\\u2019s Privacy & Data project.\\n\\nMore on our host, Jamal: bit.ly/cdtjamal\\nMore on Andy: https://cdt.org/staff/andy-crawford/\\n\\n(CDT relies on the generosity of donors like you.
