American Privacy Rights Act
The American Privacy Rights Act (APRA) is a comprehensive data privacy law proposed in the United States. It would place limitations on the kinds of data companies can collect about their users, create processes for users to access or remove data about them, and allow users opt-out from having data sold by data brokers. The bipartisan proposal was introduced in April 2024 by Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA), and Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA). Cantwell is Chair of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation and McMorris Rodgers is Chair of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. If passed, it would supersede some state-based laws which have emerged in the absence of a comprehensive federal data privacy law. The bill underwent controversial revisions in June 2024, removing several consumer protections under pressure from House Republicans, including a section about civil rights. The changes led many privacy and civil society organizations to with ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Information Privacy Law
Information privacy, data privacy or data protection laws provide a legal framework on how to obtain, use and store data of natural persons. The various laws around the world describe the rights of natural persons to control who is using its data. This includes usually the right to get details on which data is stored, for what purpose and to request the deletion in case the purpose is not given anymore. Over 80 countries and independent territories, including nearly every country in Europe and many in Latin America and the Caribbean, Asia, and Africa, have now adopted comprehensive data protection laws. The European Union has the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), in force since May 25, 2018. The United States is notable for not having adopted a comprehensive information privacy law, but rather having adopted limited sectoral laws in some areas like the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). These laws are based on fair information practice guidelines developed by the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Data Minimization
Data minimization is the principle of collecting, processing and storing only the necessary amount of personal information required for a specific purpose. The principle emanates from the realisation that processing unnecessary data is creating unnecessary risks for the data subject without creating any current benefit or value. The risks of processing personal data vary from identity theft to unreliable inferences resulting in incorrect, wrongful and potentially dangerous decisions. The principle of data minimization is a global, universal principle of data protection, and can thus be found in almost every legal or regulatory text on data protection/privacy. The data minimization principle in regulatory texts worldwide (selection) * The data minimization principle is the second of the six fundamental privacy principles set forth in the General Data Protection Regulation and the UK GDPR. * The OECD Privacy Guidelines refer to the data minimization principle as the ''Collecti ...

American Data Privacy And Protection Act
The American Data Privacy and Protection Act (ADPPA) was a United States proposed federal online privacy bill that, if enacted into law, would have regulated how organizations keep and use consumer data. The bipartisan, bicameral bill was the first American consumer privacy bill to pass committee markup, which it did with near unanimity. Contents The American Data Privacy and Protection Act (ADPPA) aimed to regulate how organizations keep and use consumer data. The Act had several main principles: data minimization, individual ownership, and private right of action. The burden of evaluating each organization's programs would fall to the organization. Data collectors would have had to minimize the data they collected down to that which was "necessary, proportionate, and limited to" their purpose, whether administering a product or communicating. The bill would have given the Federal Trade Commission a year to define those terms. Data minimization is a common principle among ...
