WASHINGTON, April 7 (Reuters) - Two key lawmakers have
reached a deal on bipartisan data privacy legislation that would
restrict consumer data that technology companies can collect and
give Americans the power to prevent selling of personal
information or compel its deletion, aides said on Sunday.
The agreement between Democratic Senator Maria Cantwell, who
chairs the Commerce Committee, and Representative Cathy McMorris
Rodgers, Republican chair of the House Energy and Commerce
Committee, would give individuals control over use of their
personal information and require disclosure if data has been
transferred to foreign adversaries.
