Protecting Neural Data: Study on Neurotechnology's Impact on Privacy
This Act aims to study how brain activity data and other related information are collected and used to protect your privacy. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will conduct a study to help create new rules for the security and use of this data, preventing manipulation and discrimination. This means you may have greater control over how companies and the government use information about your mental state and behavior in the future.
Key points
The FTC will study how neural data and other related data (e.g., heart rate, sleep patterns) are collected, processed, and used to understand and influence human behavior.
The FTC report will identify gaps in existing laws and propose new privacy protection rules, including those for data collection consent, sale, and use in advertising.
The Act aims to protect against manipulation, discrimination, and data misuse in various life areas such as employment, healthcare, finance, and education.
Guidelines will be introduced for federal agencies on purchasing and using neurotechnology to ensure compliance with privacy and ethical principles.
