American Privacy Rights Act Promises Major Shift in U.S. Data Privacy Landscape
The American Privacy Rights Act is finally taking shape after years of inaction and delay from Congress, setting the stage for a potential shift in the U.S. privacy landscape. The act, which has garnered bipartisan support, is modeled after state laws like the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and aims to empower individuals with various rights over their personal data. These rights include the option to delete their data, opt out of data sales, and be transparent about what information companies collect about them. This move brings the United States closer to the nearly 140 other nations that have already established national privacy protection laws.
