United States of America: Introduced Data Elimination and Limiting Extensive Tracking and Exchange (DELETE) Act in US House of Representatives

On 15 February 2022, the Data Elimination and Limiting Extensive Tracking and Exchange Act (H.R.6752 ) is introduced in the United States House of Representatives. The Act represents the House companion of Senate Bill S.3627. 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.
