They include how to account for different roles and services that collect personal data, when a company should disclose the collection, processing, or transfer of user data, and what lessons can be learned from existing privacy frameworks in other countries.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>It also queries how a comprehensive data privacy law might coexist with other major privacy statutes, like the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and the Children\u2019s Online Privacy Protection Rule.<\/p>\n<p>Guthrie and Joyce asked for responses from the public no later than April 7, sent to the email account PrivacyWorkingGroup@mail.house.gov. <\/p>\n<p>The committee\u2019s request marks the latest attempt in a decadeslong quest by Congress and data privacy advocates to set baseline digital privacy standards, something most other Western democracies already have in place.<\/p>\n<p>There is often broad bipartisan agreement about the need to set coherent standards for industry and crack down on some of the most predatory ways companies collect and use customer data.
