The Data Accountability and Trust Act (DATA)

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the not-a-terrible-idea-for-once dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The U.S. House of Representatives will soon be considering the Data Accountability and Trust Act (DATA). If passed it would require all companies to inform customers of security breaches that affect their personal data. The bill requires consumers to be told if their privacy has been violated because of a breach. Under the proposals, if a breach does occur, a company must notify any customers concerned and the FTC, which can then demand an audit."

    It's "spam", not "SPAM". They're not the same thing.
