Congress Rightfully Moves Forward on National Data Privacy Framework, Says ITIF

WASHINGTON- In response to House Energy and Commerce Committee Vice Chairman John Joyce (R-PA) introducing the SECURE Data Act, the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF), the leading think tank for science and technology policy, issued the following statement from Vice President Daniel Castro:

Congress should move forward with legislation like the Secure Data Act. It reflects the right approach to federal privacy-establishing a clear, consistent national framework that prioritizes meaningful consumer data protections. For too long, Congress has delayed action while the stakes have only grown. This bill moves the conversation in a more practical direction, focusing on real safeguards rather than recreating the burdensome, box-checking compliance regime seen under GDPR.
