United States of America: Introduced Bill to establish national data privacy standards in the United States (S 3337)

On 15 November 2023, the Bill to establish national data privacy standards in the United States (S 3337) was introduced in the United States Senate. The Bill's objective is to enhance protections for consumers online, ensuring that entities implement robust data security and privacy measures. Specifically, the Bill empowers consumers by granting them the right to request, dispute accuracy, and either transfer or delete their data without facing repercussions. It also introduces accountability and oversight mechanisms, providing new powers to state Attorneys General and the Federal Trade Commission to impose civil penalties for violations. Additionally, the Bill aims to safeguard consumer data by mandating the application of reasonable, fair, and transparent standards to all aspects of data collection, processing, storage, and disclosure.
