CIN 2026 Webinars Feedback Wanted

Privacy is covered in depth in the Data Analytics series of Data+, DataSys+, and DataAI+.
I could be not up to date - didn't teach Data+ for last few months, but Data+ has zero cover of the privacy. Maybe it is something in DataSys+ or DataAI+
I rather have in ming the main concepts of Data Privacy and maybe deeper analysis of some of this:
🌍 Top 20 Privacy & Data‑Protection Laws Worldwide
1. EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
2. UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR)
3. UK Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA 2018)
4. California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)
5. California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA)
6. Brazil’s General Data Protection Law (LGPD)
7. Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA)
8. Australia’s Privacy Act 1988 (amended)
9. China’s Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL)
10. Singapore’s Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA)

🌐 Additional Major Global Privacy Laws (11–20)
11. Japan – Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI)
12. South Korea – Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA)
13. South Africa – Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA)
14. Mexico – Federal Law on Protection of Personal Data Held by Private Parties
15. India – Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA)
16. Turkey – Law on Protection of Personal Data (KVKK)
17. Thailand – Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA)
18. Indonesia – Personal Data Protection Law (PDP Law)
19. Russia – Federal Law on Personal Data
20. United States – State‑Level Privacy Laws (20+ states)
The U.S. lacks a single federal privacy law, but more than 20 states now have comprehensive privacy statutes, including Colorado, Virginia, Connecticut, Utah, and others.

Of course I do not have even slight willing to cover all af them. But some compare & contrast... would be great.

Voucher date extension

Is it possible to extend the validity of my exam voucher?
Hi, I’ve not seen any information confirming that expired exam vouchers have been extended. However, I have seen a similar situation with a colleague. He contacted customer service and explained his genuine circumstances, providing medical evidence. As a result, they issued him a new voucher that allowed him to take the exam.


Because the original voucher had a specific expiry date, they said it could not be overridden.


I hope that helps.

CloudNetX renewal

I'm in the process of reviewing my CompTIA certs to make certain I have the required CEUs for renewal. i don't like to wait until the last minute. I typically get them done within the first year or two. CloudNetX has been a particular challenge.

1. No other CompTIA certification gives full or partial credit for CEUs.
2. No other non-CompTIA certifications gives full or partial credit for CEUs
3. The only options are as follows:

20 hours of webinars max
20 hours of conference attendance max
75 hours of attending training max
Retaking the newest version of the exam

By having the fewest renewal options, this makes the CloudNetX certification one of the most difficult ones to renew. DataAI has the same renewal options.

Passed DA0-002: CompTIA Data+ Certification Exam

Today I passed the DA0-002: CompTIA Data+ Certification Exam. I had already passed the previous version DA0-001, and I thought this one was much easier.

One PBQ, 79 M/C questions. A few AI questions scattered throughout, but otherwise not much new.

Overall, it's a good introductory data certification for people getting started on their career path in data analytics.

I'll be taking the new DataSys+ soon. I'm interested to see how much it has changed since the previous version.
Congratulations.

CIN 2026 Webinars Feedback Wanted

Hello Everyone! We have been in the process of building out a webinar schedule for the rest of the 2026. Below is the outcome of the planning we have so far. We would like feedback from CIN as to what you think is missing? What topics would you like to see offered? Are there any proposed launches from the CompTIA Product Roadmap that you think should be covered? We will add to our webinar list based on feedback and interests.
Hi @Stephen Schneiter the roadmap looks great.

I think all the trainers really appreciate TTT sessions, as well as ToolBoxes. I welcomed shift/push into the security part, we need it heavilng, but I think one series (not sure if exam is planned) should be about PQC (Post Quantum Computing) and PGE (Post Quantum Encryption) as we know it is very, very near future. The other topic which. I think. is little abandoned is Data Protection / Data Privacy. I know it is partially covered in several exams, but the separate webinar could be useful. Maybe CompTIA Privacy+ Expansion Exam in the future?

THNX!
