Bipartisan lawmakers unveil data privacy legislation after years of negotiation

A bipartisan effort led by Senator Maria Cantwell and Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers has produced a preliminary version of the American Privacy Rights Act, aimed at empowering consumers to manage their data privacy.

The draft legislation permits consumers to opt out of data collection, edit, or delete their data, and mandates increased transparency from companies regarding their data practices.

Notably, all consumers, including minors, will have equal rights to protect their data.
