EPIC Act

The EPIC Act, also known as Bill 118 hr 4925, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The purpose of this bill is to enhance the protection of consumer data and privacy rights in the digital age.

The EPIC Act aims to achieve this by requiring companies to obtain explicit consent from consumers before collecting or sharing their personal information. This includes data such as browsing history, location data, and other sensitive information.

Additionally, the bill would establish a new federal agency, the Digital Privacy Agency, to oversee and enforce these new regulations. This agency would have the authority to investigate and penalize companies that violate consumer privacy rights. Overall, the EPIC Act seeks to address the growing concerns surrounding data privacy and security in the digital world. It aims to give consumers more control over their personal information and hold companies accountable for how they handle and protect that data.
