The push for Federal Data Privacy Legislation in the U.S. aims to end the confusing state-by-state patchwork. Proposals like the APRA mandate data minimization, standardize consumer rights (access/delete), and implement strong enforcement via the FTC and Algorithmic Impact Assessments. This shift redefines how businesses handle personal information nationwide.

Evolving state privacy laws in the U.S. strengthen consumer rights to access, correct, and delete personal data. New regulations in Delaware and Nebraska are expanding their scope to include non-profits and small businesses. Some laws, like New Hampshire's, require compliance with a Global Privacy Control signal, giving consumers more automated control over their data.
