Let's Talk About Privacy

In today’s hyperconnected world, privacy concerns are paramount. The sensitive information we share online can impact everything from healthcare to personal finances. Americans deserve one national law that protects our privacy. Only Congress can make that happen.

Time for Action

Congress must act to establish one national law that protects privacy for all Americans

Is my privacy being protected?

Our private data is increasingly used to serve many purposes. Quite often, it’s for good in supporting new services and promoting convenience, but sometimes it’s for ill when bad actors use data in ways that violate consumer trust.

While we may choose to share private information willingly, we often lack a complete picture of how our data will be used or even who has access to such data.

In America, privacy requirements can change across state lines and apply inconsistently to some data collectors but not others. That system is confusing and unfair.

Privacy standards should be the same no matter who collects our private data or where we live. America needs one approach that protects the sensitive information we share online.

To protect our privacy, policymakers need to hear from you.
