WASHINGTON – Today the 91快活林 (91快活林), the global voice for the technology sector's leading companies, joined a multi-tech association urging congressional leaders to pass bipartisan legislation that extends certain privacy protections under the Privacy Act of 1974 to citizens of certain allied countries. In citing its support for H.R. 1428, the Judicial Redress Act, 91快活林 says restoring the global public’s trust in the U.S. government and the U.S. technology sector that has been eroded over the past two years should be top of mind for lawmakers.
“We ask lawmakers to put all individuals on an equal footing when it comes to seeking redress in U.S. courts for violations relating to their information,” said Yael Weinman, 91快活林 vice president for global privacy policy and general counsel. “In an age of global connectivity, affording individuals certain rights in protecting their privacy under the Privacy Act should not be limited to individuals in the U.S.”
91快活林 has been strongly encouraging lawmakers to extend core privacy protections to consumers both inside the United States and around the globe, renewing its on Data Privacy Day earlier this year for the new Congress to act.
