United States of America: Introduced Data Elimination and Limiting Extensive Tracking and Exchange (DELETE) Act in US Senate
Description
Introduced Data Elimination and Limiting Extensive Tracking and Exchange (DELETE) Act in US Senate
On 10 February 2022, the Data Elimination and Limiting Extensive Tracking and Exchange Act (S.3627) is introduced in the United States Senate by Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) and Jon Ossoff (D-GA). The Act aims to create a centralized system under which individuals could request the automatic deletion of their data. Furthermore, the Act would allow individuals to choose to be added to a “do not track list” to prevent the collection of their data. The Act would direct the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to create an online section where individuals could submit a one-time data deletion request to all registered entities collecting their data.
