Bill overview
The American Data Dissemination Act (ADD Act) aims to protect consumers' privacy by requiring the Federal Trade Commission to establish and enforce rules for internet service providers. These rules would mirror those applied to federal agencies, including restrictions on disclosing user records, granting users access and the ability to correct their information, and establishing secure record-keeping practices. The bill also proposes exemptions for small providers and incorporates elements of existing privacy laws like HIPAA and FERPA. Ultimately, the goal is to ensure greater transparency and control over personal data held by internet companies.
