Privacy Campaigns

EPIC's important privacy campaigns include:

U.S. Urgently Needs a Data Protection Agency

The United States is one of the few democracies in the world that does not have a federal data protection agency. While the FTC helps to safeguard consumers and promote competition, it is not a data protection agency. The United States needs a new approach. EPIC launched a campaign to promote the creation of a Data Protection Agency in the United States.
