ITI Supports Regulatory Rulemaking in Consumer Privacy Framework

The Information Technology Industry Council is the latest group to offer a consumer privacy framework to guide Congress’ legislative debate (see 1810090056). ITI’s Monday document said “some aspects of any privacy framework will necessitate regulatory rulemaking” authority: “Context is an area that is ripe for such rulemaking to ensure consideration of the factors identified in this framework as well as others that may be relevant (e.g., factors related to public safety).” The group urged more transparency on data collection and sharing; better consumer control of data; and company security mandates.
