Lawmakers Push to Override State Data Privacy Laws
Two new data privacy bills, the SECURE Data Act and the GUARD Financial Data Act, aim to establish a unified national standard for managing user data. Supported by key House committee chairs, these bills seek to preempt state-level laws and grant consumers rights to access, correct, delete, and opt out of data sales and targeted advertising. Notably, they omit a private right of action, potentially facilitating broader bipartisan support.
