ESRB Privacy Certified’s Post

Appearing on the eve of the total solar eclipse, the draft text for an American Privacy Rights Act (#APRA) has prompted almost as much discussion among privacy pros as the eclipse event generated in the media. In just over a week, there have been dozens of blogs and webinars delving into the proposed law's definitions and data minimization, transparency, preemption, and enforcement provisions. But there hasn't been much analysis of the APRA's proposed co-regulatory compliance mechanism. So, in addition to summarizing the law, I took a close look at the "compliance codes" section. I compared it with other privacy compliance and certification models under COPPA, the GDPR (EU and UK), and Congress' last attempt at comprehensive federal privacy legislation, the American Data Privacy and Protection Act. Although the APRA's prospects for passage are still uncertain, from ESRB Privacy Certified's perspective, it's clear that "regulated, self-regulatory" compliance mechanisms should be part of any modern comprehensive federal privacy law. #APRA, #COPPA #privacycompliance

Sharing my latest write-up on "Privacy in the Digital Age". In today's multi-polar globalization, the digital landscape is snowballing, and everything is at our fingertips. In an ongoing scenario, one’s own purveyed information becomes their foe and hunts them back. Owing to it, concern for privacy is seen nationally and internationally. In this piece, common law principles, Nepali jurisprudence, existing laws relating to the right to privacy, and stringent safeguards are underscored for the aegis of such human rights. #privacy #privacylaws #privacyprotection #digitalage #informationage #commonlaw #humanrights https://lnkd.in/eC7YuKGn

Last week, Attorney General Mark Dreyfus delivered a highly anticipated update on the future of Australia’s Privacy Law reforms.  Dreyfus said: “At the request of the Prime Minister I will now be bringing forward legislation in August to overhaul the Privacy Act and protect Australians from doxing, the malicious use of their personal and private information.”  “A failure to improve Australia's privacy standards would not only have implications for individuals but has the potential to adversely impact the international competitiveness of Australian business. We must keep pace and more closely align with global standards.” https://lnkd.in/grcQb7f2 #PrivacyLaw #PrivacyAct #AustralianLaw #deiterate #DucksInARow

Is a US Nationwide Privacy Law Really Coming? The potential implementation of the American Privacy Rights Act (APRA) would significantly improve the rights and freedoms of US citizens if passed. This development could mark a substantial step towards nationwide privacy regulation in the United States.

The US needs a federal #privacylaw, despite some wanting a patchwork of state regulations in so many areas. The data paints a frustrating picture: 70% of nations globally and 79% of the global population are protected by national privacy laws. Of the top 10 GDP nations in the world, the U.S. is alone in not having a federal law. https://lnkd.in/egk48fjc
