US lawmakers reach deal on data privacy legislation, aides say
Apr 7, 2024 1:49 PM

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.
