ANDREW BEAGLEY: We are in favor legislation that protects consumers’ privacy and supports technology innovation. The discussion provides great opportunity to bring together multiple points of view and learn from the implementation of similar legislation in other regions. In principle, the benefits of a single set of federal data privacy standards have appeal.
