Ep. 6 - De-constructing the ADPPA
from Privacy Chats with Rachel and John Hosted by Privacy Chats
On this episode of Privacy Chats with Rachel and John, we delve into the key highlights of the ADPPA (American Data Privacy and Protection Act) drafted on June 21st, 2022. This groundbreaking legislation introduces critical principles, including data minimization, individual data ownership, and the right for private legal action. We explore its scope, covering elements such as consumer protection, covered data, and how the FTC enforces data security. The ADPPA could be a significant step toward filling the gaps in the patchwork of privacy laws left open by the sectoral approach to data privacy protection in the US. The Act emphasizes consent, especially for sensitive covered data, and provides strong protections for children under 17, setting it apart from COPPA. Data brokers are required to undergo audits, and the Act tackles civil rights and algorithmic decision-making, ensuring large data holders conduct annual impact assessments. Watch to learn how ADPPA impacts corporate accountability, data access, data portability, and its enforcement mechanisms, including the possibility of private right of action.
