It is the Sense of Congress that— the United States must develop a balanced, high-standard digital privacy framework that complements global standards; a key element of this framework is a strong national standard that combats anti-consumer practices; it is critical that the Federal Government provide guidance on the collection, processing, disclosure, transmission and storage of sensitive data; it is important to provide the Nation with fair and thoughtful digital consumer rights with respect to such data; it is important to ensure that enforcement authorities have the resources needed to protect consumers from unlawful and deceptive acts of practices in the data privacy and security space; and individuals have a right to— exercise control over the personal data companies collect from them and how they use it; easily understandable and accessible information about privacy and security practices; expect that companies will collect, use, and disclose personal data in ways that are consistent with the context in which consumers provide the data; secure and responsible handling of sensitive personal information; access and correct persona data in usable formats, in a manner that is appropriate to the sensitivity of the data and the risk of adverse consequences to consumers if the data is inaccurate; and reasonable limits on the personal data that companies collect and retain.
