The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) last month issued the FTC Report to Congress on Privacy and Security.
What’s in the Report?
According to the agency “This report responds to the Joint Explanatory Statement accompanying the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, P.L. 116-260, directing the Federal Trade Commission (“Commission” or “FTC”) to “conduct a comprehensive internal assessment measuring the agency’s current efforts related to data privacy and security while separately identifying all resource-based needs of the FTC to improve in these areas. The agreement also urges the FTC to provide a report describing the assessment’s findings to the Committees [on Appropriations of the House and Senate] within 180 days of enactment of this Act.”
Additionally, “The report first provides an overview of the FTC’s authority related to privacy and security, highlighting certain recent efforts in those areas. Second, it discusses priorities for improving the effectiveness of our efforts to protect Americans’ privacy. Third, it identifies areas in which we could use additional resources to further ensure Americans’ privacy is protected. Finally, it discusses the need for Congressional action on the FTC’s authority.”
