Painful Path to Privacy Law Senator
Hollings Introduces Online Personal Privacy Act Sen.
Fritz Hollings (D-SC), chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, introduced
his long awaited privacy bill on April 18. The bill addresses the collection,
use and disclosure of personally identifiable information, requiring notice,
opt-in consent for collection and sharing of sensitive personally identifiable
information and opt-out for nonsensitive information, as well as security,
and consumer access to information. The bill would pre-empt state law
regulating Internet privacy, and would provide for a private right of
action for persons whose sensitive information has not been treated in
accordance with the bill's provisions. A hearing on the legislation is
scheduled for April 25, 2002. Read
the full bill:
