For those following data privacy and consumer data protection trends, it should come as no surprise that enacting comprehensive legislation to regulate companies’ use of personal data has continued to be a focal point both internationally and in the U.S., at the federal, state and local levels.
In the last three years, over 10 federal proposals and over 40 state proposals for comprehensive privacy legislation were introduced across the U.S., and we expect this trend to continue well into 2022, given the growing bipartisan support for legislation to protect consumer interests and mitigate against the risks associated with the digital economy.
