Twenty states have enacted their own privacy laws, but there remains no uniform federal law to safeguard consumers’ personal data nationwide.

Twenty states have enacted comprehensive consumer privacy laws that create new rights for consumers, impose obligations on businesses that handle consumers’ personal data, and create new mechanisms to enforce those laws.

Comprehensive privacy legislation must create strong obligations for all companies that handle consumer data. These obligations will only be strong enough to protect consumer privacy and instill trust, though, if they reflect how a company interacts with consumer data.
