Advocacy groups express support to proposed American Data Privacy and Protection Act
Advocacy groups support the American Data Privacy and Protection Act, citing its extensive provisions on data minimization, sensitive data protection, and consumer redress, with stricter measures than the California Consumer Privacy Act.
According to the International Association of Privacy Professionals, several advocacy groups have come out in support of the proposed American Data Privacy and Protection Act in the wake of claims from members of the U.S. Congress that the proposed text contains less stringent provisions compared to the California Consumer Privacy Act. The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) is among the groups to explain how the federal proposal goes further with its provisions on data minimization, sensitive data protections and consumer redress via a private right of action.
