It’s Time to
Get Serious About
National Data Privacy
By Jordan Crenshaw, U.S. Chamber of Commerce
Congress needs to act quickly and appropriately on a
national data privacy standard to ensure that American
businesses and consumers are not harmed by a
patchwork of state laws.
January 28 was theNational Data Privacy Day, which is more than 1,300 days after the nation’s first
comprehensive privacy law, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), was signed into law. To
highlight the growing need for Congressional action on data privacy, the Chamber Technology Engagement
Center launched a Data Privacy Clock, which tallies the number of days since the CCPA became law that
Congress has failed to pass a national data privacy standard that protects all Americans. Congress needs
to act quickly and appropriately to bolster emerging U.S. technological competitiveness and ensure that
American businesses and consumers are not harmed by a patchwork of state laws.
