Consumer Data Privacy and Security Act of 2021

The Consumer Data Privacy and Security Act of 2021 aims to establish a national standard for how businesses collect, use, and protect personal information. Under this bill, companies would be required to obtain your consent before collecting data unless it is necessary for a specific, authorized purpose, such as processing a transaction or providing a requested service.

For the average citizen, this legislation would provide greater control over personal digital information by granting the right to access, correct, or delete data held by businesses. Additionally, it mandates that companies implement stronger security measures to prevent data breaches and requires them to provide clear, easy-to-understand privacy policies regarding how your information is shared with third parties.
