On April 5, the U.S. Congress proposed the American Privacy Rights Act, a comprehensive federal consumer data privacy bill. It addresses some of the issues lawmakers had with the previous proposed law, the American Data Privacy and Protection Act (ADPPA), and appears to have bipartisan and bicameral support. It would require qualifying entities to present users with a comprehensive privacy policy and includes provisions for establishing technical specifications for a “centralized mechanism” individuals can use to exercise their opt-out rights.

The California Consumer Privacy Act went into effect on January 1st, 2020, and three years later, on January 1st, 2023, the California Privacy Rights Act did the same. In the last year, several additional states have followed California’s lead with their own data privacy laws. #customerdata #dataprivacy #dataprivacylaws #statedataprivacylaws

Thank you shoutout to Bailey Sanchez of Future of Privacy Forum for featuring Vermont in the post: Peak Privacy - Vermont’s Summit on Data Privacy. Excerpt: 'While the Vermont Data Privacy Act (VDPA) is modeled after the popular Connecticut privacy framework, it goes further in many places, drawing inspiration from a variety of sources. Vermont adds data minimization provisions inspired by Maryland’s new privacy law, new digital civil rights protections pulled from the American Data Privacy and Protection Act, a trimmed-down Age-Appropriate Design Code (AADC) focused on design features, and an entirely novel private right of action.'

The text of the American Privacy Rights Act (“APRA”) bill was unveiled in the latest push for federal privacy law. This is a major step forward for data privacy regulation in the United States, which is one of the last remaining developed countries with no comprehensive, overarching data privacy law and the best opportunity in decades to “establish a national #dataprivacy and security standard that gives people the right to control their personal information.” Click below for relevant insights on the APRA from our data privacy lawyers Jonathan Walsh, Elisa Botero and Joseph Muschitiello:

🏛 Vermont just passed a comprehensive privacy law that, in part, draws inspiration from the American Privacy Rights Act/American Data Privacy and Protection Act. This is a complex bill that includes a novel private right of action, substantive data minimization rules, and unique scoping provisions.

While there is little sign that the American Data Privacy and Protection Act will be (re)introduced to Congress any time soon, 2023 has already been marked by both new and previously introduced federal privacy bills vying for lawmakers' attention, scrutiny and support. To further complicate matters, however, federal privacy discussions this year confront several additional entanglements. From the passage of new state privacy laws, to proposed legislation on artificial intelligence governance, to numerous efforts to reform U.S. surveillance law, multiple issues are intersecting with privacy lawmaking efforts at the federal level. Given these recent developments, it is worth examining in more detail the privacy-related legislation proposed within the current Congress to better understand where the federal privacy debate has been recently and where it may be headed...
