Bill overview
The Deterring America’s Technological Adversaries Act (DATA Act) aims to protect U.S. personal data from being transferred to foreign entities, particularly those influenced by China. It clarifies that sensitive personal data is not exempt from regulation under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), requiring the Treasury Department to issue a directive prohibiting transactions with such entities. The bill also establishes sanctions for connected software applications operated by foreign persons subject to Chinese influence and mandates specific determinations regarding entities like TikTok. Ultimately, the DATA Act seeks to bolster U.S. national security by limiting the potential misuse of personal data by foreign adversaries.
