Data Accountability and Trust Act

The Data Accountability and Trust Act, also known as Bill 111 hr 2221, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress. The main goal of this bill is to protect consumers' personal information and data privacy.

The bill requires companies that collect personal information from consumers to implement data security measures to safeguard this information. It also mandates that companies notify consumers in the event of a data breach that compromises their personal information.

Additionally, the Data Accountability and Trust Act requires companies to establish and maintain data privacy policies that are easily accessible to consumers. These policies must outline how the company collects, uses, and shares personal information, as well as provide consumers with the option to opt out of having their information shared with third parties. Overall, the Data Accountability and Trust Act aims to increase transparency and accountability in the way companies handle consumers' personal information, ultimately giving consumers more control over their data privacy.
