PRIVACY FOR AMERICA

Privacy for America has developed a new framework for nationwide privacy legislation that would fundamentally change the way personal data is protected and secured in this country. This framework is intended to provide a new option to policy makers for their consideration as they address this important issue. Unlike existing domestic and international approaches to privacy regulation, the framework would not rely on burdensome "notice and choice" schemes to protect personal data. Rather, it would clearly define and prohibit practices that put personal data at risk or undermine accountability, while preserving the benefits to individuals and our economy that result from the responsible use of data... Privacy for America will support enactment of federal legislation that would clearly define prohibited data practices that make personal data vulnerable to breach or misuse, while preserving the benefits that come from responsible use of data.
