A recent survey of 100 executives from Fortune 500 companies found more than half are struggling to balance easy access to company data with privacy and security compliance.
The survey was commissioned by software vendor Privacera and conducted by marketing agency Lead to Market. Among the findings, 58 percent of respondents said access restrictions were impacting the productivity of their analytic teams.

The passage of Prop 24, the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (“CPRA”), has caused a bit of confusion among businesses in California.

applicability to those sharing information.
Introduces a new category and rights for sensitive

Expands other consumer rights, such as the right to amend

Sen. Amy Klobuchar is back with a bill to protect consumer data privacy when collected by large tech platforms like Facebook and Google.
Klobuchar (D-MN) has teamed up with a bipartisan group of senators, including Sens. John Kennedy (R-LA), Joe Manchin (D-WV), and Richard Burr (R-NC), to reintroduce the Social Media Privacy Protection and Consumer Rights Act. The privacy legislation would force websites to grant users greater control over their data and allow them to opt out of data tracking and collection.
“This legislation will protect and empower consumers”
“For too long companies have profited off of Americans’ online data while consumers have been left in the dark,” Klobuchar said in a statement to
