CDT has taken our best shot at addressing the numerous difficult challenges that drafting privacy legislation raises, and put forth a discussion draft that sets reasonable limits on the use, collection, and sharing of personal information and provides individual rights to access, correct, delete, and port data.
We hope this draft will inspire feedback and collaboration from all stakeholders and serve as a resource for decision makers who seek to rebalance our privacy ecosystem in favor of users.
If you are reading this draft and want to talk to our Privacy & Data team for more info, please contact Michelle Richardson at mrichardson@cdt.org.
