New Digital Data Privacy Standards for US Citizens

This bill establishes national data privacy standards in the US. Companies will be required to clearly inform individuals about data collection practices, and citizens will gain more control over their personal information, including the right to delete it. The aim is to enhance digital security and privacy for everyone.
Key points
Companies must provide clear and understandable privacy notices detailing data collection, processing, and disclosure.
Individuals gain rights to access, correct, and delete their personal data held by companies.
Affirmative consent is required for collecting sensitive data (e.g., health, precise location), and discriminatory data practices are prohibited.
Larger companies must appoint a privacy protection officer, and the government will support research into privacy-enhancing technologies.
