Statement On The DASHBOARD Act

Washington, DC – Internet Association President and CEO Michael Beckerman issued the below statement following the introduction of the Designing Accounting Safeguards to Help Broaden Oversight and Regulations on Data (DASHBOARD) Act:

“Data helps businesses – across all industries and of all sizes and business models – provide consumers with better products and services. We are encouraged by policymaker interest in addressing consumer privacy and providing Americans with greater transparency and control over how their data is used and protected. The internet industry supports a comprehensive, economy-wide federal privacy law that covers all companies – from social media sites to local grocery stores to data brokers – to give consumers the protections and rights they need to take full control of the data they provide to companies.”
