Privacy for America’s Statement on Senator Schatz’s Data Privacy Legislation

Privacy for America welcomes the reintroduction of federal data privacy legislation by Senator Schatz and his co-sponsors and their substantive contribution to the discussion of this important issue. Now is the time to enact a national privacy law that establishes greater protections for consumers, regardless of where they live, clear rules of the road for businesses, and a strong enforcement mandate and enhanced capabilities for the Federal Trade Commission. We look forward to working with the Senators and other legislators in both chambers to help build the consensus necessary to enact a federal data privacy law.
