Privacy

Privacy

Consumers have a fundamental right to the privacy and security of their personal information. These rights extend to collection and control of personal data, limits on commercial and government surveillance, prohibition of discriminatory data practices, and safeguards for consumers’ personal information from unauthorized exposure and use. CFA promotes consumers’ privacy rights by advocating for strong laws and regulations, encouraging fair and effective data practices, and supporting vigorous enforcement to curb privacy abuses.
