Sen. Wicker introduces federal US privacy bill

U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., introduced a new federal privacy bill, The Wall Street Journal reports. The Setting an American Framework to Ensure Data Access, Transparency, and Accountability Act would require organizations to publish privacy notices, appoint privacy offices and give consumers data subject rights. “We risk losing consumers’ confidence in the internet marketplace and undermining our national security and technological leadership abroad without a federal privacy law,” Wicker said. Editor's note: The IAPP's Müge Fazlioglu, CIPP/E, CIPP/US, wrote about the first federal privacy bill introduced in 2021 for Privacy Tracker, and Rep. Suzan DelBene spoke about her federal bill in a recent episode of The Privacy Advisor Podcast.
